HC-130P Combat King back in Afghanistan

An HC-130P “Combat King” Hercules aircrew assigned to the 79th Expeditionary Rescue Squadron, board an aircraft to prepare it for take-off on an alert mission, April 9, 2010, from Camp Bastion, Afghanistan. The unit's combat search and rescue and casualty evacuation skills were put on display before the aircrew even went into alert status. During their initial orientation flight, April 6, an HC-130 aircrew was diverted to assist Coalition Forces injured in by an improvised explosive device while conducting a night-patrol training mission in Badghis Province with Afghan National Army Commandos and U.S. Army Special Forces.
