Exercise tests fast-response unit's capabilities

Army Reserve Soldiers from the 426th Civil Affairs Battalion's Bravo Company at Upland, Calif., load a C-130 Hercules June 2 in preparation for an airdrop in support of the weeklong exercise Operation Hydra. Operation Hydra provides realistic training scenarios, exercising the 615th Contingency Response Wing's ability to conduct expeditionary mobility operations at three locations. The wing is practicing its "open an air base" concept while maintaining command and control of in-theater operations. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Sarayuth Pinthong)
