Master Sgt. Cassandra Doub, 455th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron 1st Sgt., and Staff Sgt. Andrew Perna, 455th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron maintenance and equipment craftsman secure AM-2 matting with a hammer, Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, Aug. 11, 2016. AM-2 matting is used to form runways, taxiways, parking and other areas required for aircraft operations and maintenance. In an effort to create a drive way for aircraft, the ECES laid an estimated 49 thousand square feet of matting on the flightline. The additional matting will allow pilots to have a faster response time. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Justyn M. Freeman)

The 774th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron conducted their first combat airdrop in nearly two-and-a-half years, resulting in the successful delivery of 11,000 pounds of equipment to coalition forces. An airdrop is one of many methods airlift Airmen use to deliver cargo. When planning on how to deliver cargo, the type of environment is a key factor in the decision. Weather, the danger present in the area and terrain are just a few of the factors used in deciding what method to use.
