The Field Accommodation Unit (FAU) is located at Beauvechain airbase and has eighty personnel.
The unit is responsible for the infrastructure of the detachments during operations. This includes the construction and maintenance of the accommodation (heated and air-conditioned tents and containers), offices, kitchens, sanitary facilities, power supplies, water purification, and so on.
The unit also provides specialized equipment to the Air Component, such as aircraft refueling facilities or runway lighting systems. She also helps the Medical Component set up her facilities.
The FAU's motto is: Muniendum saepe, semper auxiliandum (Often building, always giving support).
