As part of this rotation's training, intelligence and tactics briefs were held, container delivery system bundles were loaded on to C-130s, and nearly 1,200 paratroopers simulated jumping to a specified landing zone. The joint readiness training allowed Airmen from The Rock to put their expertise into action. The event demonstrated the array of capabilities and flexibility that combat airlift must maintain.
