The Luchtmobiele Brigade (Kasterburg) is an air assault brigade of the Volksarmee, trained and equipped by the Imperial Mission Kasterburg (IMK) and garrisoned at Kolmen, with additional support elements at St. Elmo Military Base and Jodocus van Haltna International Airfield.
Its initial draft comprised of 3,960 volunteers from the Volksarmee, selected according to a stringent criteria for peak physical condition and mental agility, joined by 40 Imperial Instructors, who assembled at Kolmen on 08.II.1660.
Rotorcraft, expected to be "Whirdlebirds" of Shirerithian and Kalgachi origin, assigned to the Brigade's air assault regiment are to be based at Jodocus van Haltna International Airfield to minimise the risk of attack by insurgents or Tee-als.
In late 1660, the first Kasterburger airplane, the Buzzard C-61 was produced by the Litkov Aviation and Technology Facility and subsequently used by the Luchtmobiele Brigade.
