DYESS AIR FORCE BASE, Texas—Senior Airman Jason Ignacio, 40th Airlift Squadron, secures a bundle on the C-130J Super Hercules June 17 as part of a 22-bundle mass container delivery system airdrop at Bronte Drop Zone over Bronte city to demonstrate the capabilities of the C-130J-model. In December 2010, members of the 317th Airlift Group led a Total Force team of experts to conduct the initial testing phase and tactics development of C-130J LCLA for Air Mobility Command. Over the course of the test, the team dropped 98 LCLA bundles to refine the Air Force's latest combat delivery technique. In January 2010, the 317th Airlift Group received a short-notice tasking to conduct a small group tryout of the new airdrop method for the C-130H and to develop a local training plan to prepare crews to employ this new technique in the Central Command area of responsibility. Dyess Airlifters developed a training program, then trained and certified an initial 28 aircrew members in LCLA within 5 days of notification. The newly trained aircrew deployed in support of Operation Enduring Freedom two weeks later. (U.S Air Force photo/ Airman 1st Class Shannon Hall)
