During its 12-and-a-half years as a key regional transportation hub, the Transit Center served as a thoroughfare for 5.3 million coalition personnel, which accounts for approximately 98 percent of all coalition forces moving into and out of Afghanistan during this period. Airmen assigned to the Transit Center loaded and flew 42,000 airlift missions, hauling 1.4 billion pounds of cargo - roughly the weight of 3,500 C-17 Globemaster aircraft. (Courtesy photo)
