Bundles of supplies are loaded onto a 772nd Expeditionary
Summary
Bundles of supplies are loaded onto a 772nd Expeditionary Airlift Squadron C-130J Hercules at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan. A parachute is attached to each bundle allowing a 99 percent accuracy of the airdropped bundles to be recovered undamaged by ground troops needing the supplies. In March 2011, the 772nd EAS dropped more than 1.5 million pounds of supplies to troops across Afghanistan. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Willard E. Grande II)
