Marines from Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 252 prepare more than 22,000 pounds of cargo for an air drop April 16. This was the first successful aerial delivery of cargo since the KC-130J arrived here in February. This also marked the first combat aerial delivery for the J model aircraft. The airdrop measured six truck loads worth of supplies, which means more than 12 Marines did not have to risk convoy operations.
