    From Left: Spc. Xavier De Leon, a Los Angeles native, Army Sgt. Alexander Correa, a Boston native, and Spc. Christopher Hickey, a Bayonne, N.J., native, await a CH-47 Chinook Helicopter, so they can hook up three sling loads to it at Forward Operating Base Altimur in Logar province, Afghanistan, Sept. 9. Supplies are sling loaded onto helicopters, so more remote FOBs and Combat Outposts can receive needed items when other means of delivery supplies are impractical. De Leon, a fire support specialist and Correa, an infantryman, both with Company B, 1st Battalion, 32nd Infantry Regiment, 3rd 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, are currently attached to 3rd Battalion, 71st Cavalry Regiment, 3rd BCT, 10th Mtn. Div. Hickey serves as a supply representative for Troop C, 3-71 Cav. Reg.
