EC 2/4 La Fayette — BAP 71 detachment

The brief

For its detachment to Lithuania under BAP 71 (Baltic air policing), the squadron ordered 89 “Lituanie” name tapes — one per detachment member — and 200 woven patches with the mission silhouette. Production was locked to the deployment calendar: everything had to be on the uniforms before departure. The squadron was already a customer (“ZARA 24” patches delivered in 2024) and a full new squadron patch series is in the works. Deployed units are a case we know well: hard deadline, exact headcount, zero margin for error on the names.
