Summary

A U.S. Air Force Reserve C-130H Hercules, assigned to the 910th Airlift Wing to the 910th Airlift Wing, based at Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Ohio and equipped with a Modular Aerial Spray System, flies over Roanoke, Louisiana as part of nighttime mosquito control aerial spray operations here in the aftermath of Hurricane Delta, Oct. 29, 2020. The C-130s have been spraying since Oct. 20, 2020, and have treated nearly 900,000 acres as of Oct. 29, 2020. At the request of FEMA, and upon approval by the Department of Defense, U.S. Northern Command activated the 910th to provide aerial spray capability to assist civil authorities in Louisiana. Air Forces Northern, U.S. Northern Command's U.S. Air Force air component command, is the DoD operational lead for the mission. The 910th is home to the Department of Defense's only aerial spray capability and dedicated aerial spray maintenance flight. The last time the 910th supported Federal Emergency Management Agency hurricane recovery efforts with its aerial spray mission was 2017, when they treated 2.7 million acres of affected areas following Hurricane Harvey.
