FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Staff Sgt. Matthew Van Compernolle, a joint airdrop inspector with the 43d Operations Support Squadron at Pope Army Airfield, reviews rigging procedures with a U.S. Army rigger at the Heavy Drop Rigging Facility here Feb. 7, 2018. The pair worked together alongside other Airmen and Soldiers to prepare cargo for aidrop during a joint Large Package Week and Emergency Deployment Readiness Exercise Feb. 5-11. Airmen in the 43d Air Mobility Operations Group at Pope provided ground support for visiting Air Force aircrews airlifting Soldiers and equipment out of Pope Field during the exercise. Throughout the week, Air Mobility Command crews carried out 173 missions, transporting more than 3,000 paratroopers and 2.8 million pounds of heavy vehicles, container delivery systems and other cargo. Airmen in the 43d AMOG here serve as the linchpin for America’s Global Response Force, connecting AMC airlift and Brigade Combat Teams of the 82nd ABN DIV, and providing operations, maintenance, Aerial Port, fuels, ground equipment and other support.
