ASAB utilizes IHAT mission to increase efficiency
A loadmaster for an Ilyushin Il-76 along with a 386th Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron member load cargo on to a commercial aircraft at Ali Al Salem Air Base, Kuwait, March 11, 2019. The U.S. Air Forces Central Command’s Air Mobility Division and Airlift Control Team orchestrate the utilization of commercial international heavyweight air tenders to move theater cargo. The use of IHAT missions provides the USCENTCOM theater an important airlift capability for cargo that cannot be load planned on military aircraft within the next 72 hours. This is the first time in more than two years the capability has been used at ASAB. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Tech. Sgt. Robert Cloys)
