French Navy "Dixmude" LHD to transport French Army's VBCI IFV for deployment in Mali

FS Dixumde |French Army VBCI Infantry Fighting Vehicles have been loaded in the French Navy (Marine Nationale) Dixumde LHD Amphibious Assault Ship, Force Projection & Command Vessel at the Toulon naval base.

The Dixmude will then sail off to West Africa to deploy the armored vehicles and French Army troops (two companies from 92th Infantry Regiment) in support to the current French operation in Mali named "Serval".

Dixmude LHD will likely sail to Abidjan harbor (Cote d'Ivoire) to unload the troops and vehicles which will then reach Mali by road, just like the first French reinforcement did last week when troops from 1er RHP, 3er RPIMa and 17e RGP left the military camp of Port-Bouet in Abidjan, Ivory Coast Saturday, January 13, 2012, to rejoin Mali by land.
