herkbum Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) For all of the airdroppers out there, here's a USA Today article about precision airdrops, http://www.usatoday....rops/52902982/1. I was in the Tactics shop in Bagram back in 2006 when this was introduced into Afghanistan. Good to see it is still successful and getting the guys the stuff they need to kick ass and survive!

Termy Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Good article and will be read by many since it is in USA Today. Tac Airlift is an important mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GearMonkey Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I'm far more impressed with the 80 million pounds than the 5 acre DZ. I guess the actual iCDS and JPADS number weren't sexy enough to mention and regular airdrop is too boring for its own article. Hopefully the next technological leap will be a DZO who can properly call winds and give a complete strike report. That'll be the day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
