Two teams, one mission

U.S. Air Force Airmen with the 36th Airlift Squadron from Yokota Air Base, Japan, guided the forklift driver to the back of a C-130J Hercules during an airland training mission at Misawa Air Base, Japan, May 28, 2020. Since COVID-19, the number of regularly-scheduled training missions has decreased. The airland training 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.
