Airmen deployed to Manas AB, Kyrgyzstan, helped deliver humanitarian supplies to Kyrgyz citizens last week. A C-17 airlifted some 22,000 pounds of tents, blankets, stoves, heaters, gloves, and more from Ramstein AB, Germany, to Manas, where about 25 airmen volunteered to load them onto trucks to be taken to a warehouse for distribution.
While the U.S. Air Force plans to spend big and make Collaborative Combat Aircraft drones an essential part of its tactical fleet in the near future, the U.S. Navy is working to team manned and unmanned aircraft as well.
