    Army Staff Sgt. Marshall Peterson of the Headquarters and Headquarters Company 725th Brigade Support Battalion ties down the water on a supply pallet while Pfc. Michael Hunt, in the background, prepares a piece of cardboard padding to go on top.These pallets are dropped from over 200 feet and can impact at a high rate of speed. Using every precaution while preparing these pallets can be the difference between a successful supply drop and one that gets destroyed upon landing.
