U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Rafael Rondon, a pilot assigned to the 700th Airlift Squadron, Dobbins Air Reserve Base, Georgia, smiles for a moment while flying a C-130H3 Hercules aircraft during an airdrop operation at Yokota Air Base, Japan, July 28, 2025. Rondon supported operations as part of the 374th Air Expeditionary Wing during the U.S. Air Force’s 2025 Department-Level Exercise series. Airdrop operations are vital in the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command area of responsibility, enabling the rapid delivery of essential supplies, equipment, and humanitarian aid to remote locations across vast distances, island chains, and challenging terrain.
