Six Airmen from Bagram Airfield's 455th Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron and 455th Expeditionary Maintenance Squadron moved 16 disabled C-27 aircraft, and 12 tons of support equipment, at Kabul International Airport to assist the Afghan government July 11, 2014. The Airmen are part of the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing's Crash, Damaged, Disabled, Aircraft Recovery team, and the C-27 movement provided real-world experience as they had to replace 19 tires and perform various maintenance and logistics actions in order to move the aircraft.
