Steve Shearer, a navigator assigned to the 700th Airlift Squadron, Dobbins Air Reserve Base, listens during a crew brief on board a C-130H3 Hercules aircraft before an airdrop operation at Yokota Air Base, Japan, during the Air Force's Department-Level Exercise series, July 28, 2025. 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. The DLE series encompasses all branches of the Department of Defense, along with Allies and partners, employing more than 400 Joint and coalition aircraft and more than 12,000 members at more than 50 locations across 3,000 miles.(U.S. Air Force photo by Tech.
