Team work makes the dream work

A U.S. Air Force Airman directs the driver during the unloading of an F-16 Fighting Falcon engine at Yokota Air Base, Japan, May 28, 2020. Since COVID-19, the number of regularly scheduled training missions has decreased. The airland training between the 35th Logistic Readiness Squadron at Misawa Air Base, Japan, and the 36th Airlift Sqaudron allowed new loadmasters to progress with their on-the-job upgrade training. Routinely the 36th AS missions involve cargo being air dropped. Airdrop and airland have some similar elements as far as loading goes on the ground but the offloading portion is what differs.
