Operation Uplift: the few prepare for many at rapidly growing KAF

An A-10 Thunderbolt II, assigned to the 303rd Expeditionary Fighter Squadron, sits on the newly realigned flight line at the 451st Air Expeditionary Group, Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan Feb. 22, 2018. As the new U.S. strategy in Afghanistan calls for bringing in an additional U.S. Army contingent called Security Force Assistance Brigade, the U.S. Air Force assigned A-10 Thunderbolt II’s, HH-60 Pave Hawks and additional MQ-9 Reapers to operate out of KAF to support the ground troops.
