A US Air Force C-130J Super Hercules crew airdrops twenty bundles of food rations to Forward Operating Base Edinburgh, the logistics hub for northern Helmand Province, Afghanistan, on 3 October 2011. Aerial delivery of food and water allows US Marines at FOB Edinburgh to get critical supplies without having to rely on ground convoys. The C-130J and crew are deployed from Dyess AFB, Texas.
