C-17 participation in Operation Damayan
Displaced Filipino and other international personnel prepare for takeoff inside a C-17 Globemaster III with the 535th Air Lift Squadron, Nov. 15, 2013, for transport to Manila from Tacloban Air Field, Philippines. The supply drop-off and personnel loading was the first use of the C-17 during Operation Damayan, able to carry significantly more supplies and displaced persons than the C-130 Hercules aircraft currently being utilized. To date, the multi-national force has delivered more than 623,000 pounds of relief aid. (U.S. Marine Corps photo/Sgt. Jonathan Wright)
