## Description

ICAO and military rolls list it as the Lieutenant Étienne Mantoux air base at Étain-Rouvres in the Meuse, home to French Army Aviation's 3rd Combat Helicopter Regiment and its attack and transport helicopters. The field is purely military: no scheduled or freight flights, and no cargo terminal. Air cargo from the Verdun/Meuse area is best routed through the Luxembourg freight hub (LUX, about 90 km), with Nancy-Lorraine (ENC) as a fallback. For forwarders it is a helicopter base near the 1916 battlefields, not a cargo gateway.
