Airmen around the world have extended the holiday spirit, providing needed supplies, toys, and their time. The 55th annual Operation Christmas Drop—spearheaded by Andersen AFB, Guam with airlift assistance from Yokota AB, Japan—delivered 18.5 tons of supplies and gifts over a five-day period to islands in the Pacific. Air Force Reservists with the 419th Fighter Wing at Hill AFB, Utah, hosted a Christmas party for students with special needs at an area school, continuing an 18-year tradition.
The Air Force wants to promote working out, healthy eating habits, and a holistic approach to well-being for both Airmen and Guardians as part of a new “Culture of Fitness” initiative announced Sept. 18.
