YIGO, GUAM, GUAM

An Airman watches as crews receive a C-130J Super Hercules at the close of the first official day of Operation Christmas Drop flights Dec. 11, 2017, at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. Christmas Drop enhances humanitarian assistance and disaster relief crisis response capabilities, by allowing aircrews from the U.S. Air Force, Japanese Air Self-Defense Force (Koku Jieitai) and Royal Australian Air Force, to maintain and develop combat readiness through sustainable aircraft generation and training for humanitarian assistance/disaster relief with low-cost, low-altitude airdrops on unsurveyed drop zones.
