Staff Sgt. Kevin Johnson 455th Expeditionary Operations Support Squadron, NCO in charge of joint airdrop inspector’s office, completes an airdrop bundle inspection form prior to the C-17 loadmasters signing it on Bagram Air Field, Afghanistan, Aug. 21, 2013. Airdrops provide ground members in isolated locations of Afghanistan with food, fuel and supplies daily. Prior to an airdrop taking place, there are three members who must ensure the cargo is loaded properly in order for an airdrop to successfully occur. The U.S. Army Combined Joint Task Force rigors, who load the cargo onto the aircraft, attach ties and static lines securing it to the aircraft. The JAI inspector whose job is to inspect the riggers work, and the aircraft’s loadmaster who confirms the JAI’s performed an inspection. Johnson is one of two Airmen qualified to perform JAI inspections here. He is deployed from Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., and a native of Wiesbaden, Germany. (U.S. Air Force photo/ Staff Sgt.
