OEF anniversary: History shows AMC’s critical support as operation grew
An air-to-air view from the flightdeck of a C-17A Globemaster III as both aircraft return to Germany after the successful Tri-Wall Aerial Delivery System, or TRIADS, airdrop over Afghanistan on Oct. 7, 2001. Air Force C-17's delivered Humanitarian Daily Rations (HDR) in support of Operation Enduring Freedom from Germany to Afghan refugees who massed inside the borders of Afghanistan. The C-17s carried more than 35,000 HDRs packed in 84 TRIAD boxes. Each box measures 80 inches tall and 48 inches square, containing 420 HDRs. The HDRs were delivered in a first of its kind, high-altitude airdrop. This is the first operational TRIAD delivery from a C-17 aircraft as well as the first combat airdrop mission performed by the C-17. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Tech. Sgt. Carrie Humphries)
