TRIADS drop
RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany -- Loadmasters inspect the Tri-Wall Aerial Delivery System (TRIADS) loaded with Humanitarian Daily Rations enroute to the drop zone. C-17 Globemaster IIIs delivered HDRs to Afghan refugees who have massed inside the borders of Afghanistan. The C-17s carried more 35,000 HDRs packaged in 84 TRIAD boxes, measuring 80 inches tall and 48 by 48 inches square, each filled with 420 HDRs. The HDRs were delivered in a high altitude airdrop. This is the first operational TRIAD delivery from C-17 aircraft and also the first combat airdrop mission performed by a C-17. (U.S. Air Force Photograph by Staff Sgt. Jeremy T. Lock)
