Total-force team airdrops 10-ton artillery load
Senior Master Sgt. Kevin Gifford loads a 10-ton pallet aboard a C-130 Hercules Aug. 8 at Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan. Sergeant Gifford and an Army and Air Force aircrew from the 774th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron delivered an M198 howitzer artillery piece to a forward operating base in Afghanistan. The 36-foot long cannon will give troops the ability to send high-explosive shells at insurgents threatening the peace and security of the Paktika Province. Sergeant Gifford is a New York Air National Guard member from Schenectady, N.Y. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Michael B. Keller)
