Tech. Sgt. Napoleon Ortiz, an instructor loadmaster with the 36th Airlift Squadron, looks from the ramp a C-130J Super Hercules in flight after a low-cost, low-altitude airdrop during Operation Christmas Drop Dec. 11, 2017, above the island of Fais. During airdrops, loadmasters communicate closely with pilots to determine time and location of a precise delivery of supplies form the air. Christmas Drop is a Pacific Air Forces exercise that includes a partnership between the 374th Airlift Wing, Yokota Air Base, Japan; the 36th Wing, Andersen Air Force Base, Guam; the 734th Air Mobility Squadron, Andersen AFB of the 515th Air Mobility Operations Wing, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii; the University of Guam; and partners throughout Guam. It is the longest-running Department of Defense humanitarian airlift operation and will provide nearly 25 tons of critical supplies to 56 Micronesian islands this year impacting about 20,000 people.
