LITTLE ROCK AIR FORCE BASE, Ark. --  The Aerial Delivery section of the 19th Logistics Readiness Squadron plays a huge role in Little Rock Air Force Base's mission. A team of 39 Airmen and 11 civilians are responsible for rigging, recovering and repairing cargo platforms. There are three separate drop zones in the state of Arkansas that are used for training. Whether being dropped from a C-130H or J, the aerial delivery team trains to safely get rations, water or other emergency items to people in need. Fifty-eight percent of the Department of Defense's unilateral airdrop training is done at Little Rock Air Force Base, Ark.
