AFCENT conducts 10th humanitarian aid airdrop into Gaza
A U.S. Air Force loadmaster removes the corners from a skid plate attached to a bundle of humanitarian aid destined for an airdrop over Gaza aboard a U.S. Air Forces Central HC-130J Combat King II at an undisclosed location within the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, March 14, 2024. Removing the corners of the skid plate ensures the bundle will not snag as it leaves the aircraft. The U.S. Air Force rapid global mobility capability enabled the expedited movement of critical, life-saving supplies to Gaza. (U.S. Air Force photo)
