Airmen deployed to Manas AB, Kyrgyzstan, helped deliver humanitarian supplies to Kyrgyz citizens last week. A C-17 airlifted some 22,000 pounds of tents, blankets, stoves, heaters, gloves, and more from Ramstein AB, Germany, to Manas, where about 25 airmen volunteered to load them onto trucks to be taken to a warehouse for distribution.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
