Emergency airdrop over Afghanistan sustains combat ops
Twenty-four 55-gallon drums, or 9,000 pounds of fuel, are released from a C-130 Hercules over southern Afghanistan March 13 to provide emergency resupply for coalition ground forces. The airdrop by the 774th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron from Bagram Air Base helped to sustain the combat operations of the 1st Battalion of the 508th Parachute Infantry Division against Taliban extremists.
