Air National Guardsmen from C-130 units in Alaska and New York came together to drop about 20,000 pounds of supplies to soldiers in an austere part of southern Afghanistan during their first formation airdrop, June 22, 2011. They were operating with the 774th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron from Bagram Airfield. Here, a New York ANG C-130 drops much-needed supplies to a forward operating base in Oruzgan Province during the mission.
