The complete Wing ( 403 , 416 , 421 and 443 Sqns ) moved in on 16 June 1944 . Its facilities were those of a full air base , with dispersals all around the airstrip . A fuel and ammunition dump was located south of the airfield . Rows of tents housing nearly 1000 men were located in orchards to the southeast . A local church is believed to have served as Ground Control for the entire Normandy 2d Tactical Air Force area of responsibility . Over the first month of its existence the frontline only moved to 19 kilometres ( 11 miles ) away . While 127 Wing operated from the airfield it was also used to evacuate thousands of injured soldiers , sailors and airmen to England . In addition a constant stream of other Allied squadrons used the airfield for fuel , ammunition or repair . Bazenville was used until 28 August 1944 , and afterwards the engineers moved in and dismantled all recoverable equipment along with the SMT . The land was then returned to the French farmers , and over the years , the land has been used as agricultural fields . Today , nothing remains of the former airfield .

Meitav ( military unit ) Meitav ( ) is a military unit created in May 2006 by merging the Bakum ( בסיס קליטה ומיון , " Bsis Klita UMiyun " lit . Reception and Sorting Base ) and the Minhag ( מנהל הגיוס , " Minhal HaGiyus " , lit . Recruitment Administration ) . In practice , it is a military base where new Israel Defense Forces recruits are sorted into their respective corps or basic training bases , similar to USMEPCOM in the U . S . military . Other responsibilities include ( but are not limited to ) initial allocation of basic gear and discharging soldiers at the end of their service . Meitav is still commonly referred to as the " Bakum " and its new name is virtually unknown outside the army . A possible reason for this is that " meitav " is the name of the military unit that resides on the base and is responsible for the different sorting tasks , but not the name of its location . The " Bakum " is located at the Tel HaShomer military base , and its current commander is Colonel Gadi Agmon . In 2010 , Meitav was the third - largest IDF unit , with 1 , 026 soldiers . History . With the founding of the IDF , Meitav was called Kelet ( ) and was under the jurisdiction of the manpower branch of the Ministry of Defense . It was located in Tzrifin . The Kelet unit , which inducted soldiers , was separate from the sorting unit / base , which was located in the Kiryat Meir base in Tel Aviv . In the 1950s , the two units were merged into the " Bakum " , and moved to Tel HaShomer . In 1966 , the jurisdiction of the " Bakum " passed from the Defense Ministry to the army .
