The airlifters and airmen were dispatched from the 374th Airlift Wing at Yokota AB, Japan, “within hours” of getting the tasking, Lt. Gen. David Deptula, commander of the Kenney Warfighting Headquarters at Hickam AFB, Hawaii, told the Honolulu Star-Bulletin. According to the newspaper, PACAF also has dispatched eight members of the 36th Contingency Response Group from Andersen AFB, Guam, to assess airfields in the stricken area.
