C-130 crews from the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing airdropped more than 240,000 pounds of relief supplies to refugee camps in Kenya over a five-day period in early December as part of Operation Unity Knight. The airdrop came after weeks of deluge rendered roads unusable. A team of approximately twenty airmen and one US Navy medic began work in Kenya on 8 December. The deployed C-130H crews, assigned to Combined Task Force — Horn of Africa, made their first two low-altitude airdrops on 9 December, delivering more than 35,000 pounds of mosquito netting and tarps. More than 160,000 Somali refugees live in three camps in the Dadaab region of eastern Kenya
