Guard and active duty C-130 Hercules aircrews assigned to the 774th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron at Karshi-Khanabad AB, Uzbekistan, completed thirteen container delivery system airdrop missions of more than 127,000 pounds of humanitarian cargo to civilians in remote regions of Afghanistan in January and February. The cargo, consisting of more than 13,000 pounds of supplies such as blankets and bottled water, were airdropped to areas cut off from ground supply routes because of snow in the mountains. In February alone, crews successfully airdropped eighty-five delivery system bundles despite bad weather and treacherous terrain.
