ASAB utilizes IHAT mission to increase efficiency
Staff Sgt. Benjamin Griggs, 386th Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron ramp services supervisor, deployed from the 89th Aerial Port Squadron at Joint Base Andrews, Md., rolls cargo on to a commercial Ilyushin Il-76 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)
