2007年5月24日,对于在阿富汗执行任务的美军士兵来说,是难忘的一天。就是在这一天,他们在阿富汗一个偏僻的山区营地,迎来了一架 C-17“环球霸王Ⅲ”运输机。这架 C-17运输机在空中盘旋了一圈之后,向美军营地空投了大量军火、食品和饮用水,总重量达到8.75吨。这些军用物资是使用了名为“惊叫者”(Screamer)的联合精确空投系统(JPADS)实施空投的。执行这次空投任务的是美国空军第437空运联队,此外还有联合空中作战中心空中机动处、第774远征空运中队和第11军需分遣队配合。 On May 24, 2007, it was an unforgettable day for the U.S. troops carrying out their mission in Afghanistan. It was on this day that they ushered in a C-17 “Globemaster III” transport plane in a remote mountainous camp in Afghanistan. After a lap in the air, the C-17 transport aircraft dropped a large amount of arms, food and drinking water to U.S. military camps for a total weight of 8.75 tons. These military supplies were pitched using the Joint Accurate Air Drop System (“JPADS”) called “Screamer.” The airlift mission was carried out by the U.S. Air Force's 437th Airlift Wing, in addition to the Joint Air Combat Center Air Operations Division, the 774th Expeditionary Airlift Corps and the 11th Army Contingent.
