    34th CTS attains howitzers, expands training capabilities

    The 34th Combat Training Squadron acquired two M119 howitzers from Amedee Army Airfield, California, on Friday, Dec. 11. The artillery pieces will be used to enhance aircrew training and provide more realistic scenarios during future Green Flag Little Rock exercises, Air Mobility Command’s only joint-accredited flag level exercise. “The howitzers will add to the 34 CTS’s unique inventory of equipment, allowing Mobility Airmen the necessary hands-on experience within a training environment,” said U.S. Air Force Major Jeremy Hauge, 34th CTS director of operations. “Prior to receiving the howitzers, loadmasters had to simulate these type of loads using weighted pallets. While the pallets were designed to weigh the same as the equipment, it couldn’t give them the experience of loading cargo that is unusual in shape and size.”

    34th CTS: training the next generation

    The C-130J Super Hercules was built to perform tactical combat airlift while flying and landing in austere environments. Moving and dropping pallets doesn’t seem to be too daunting until loadmasters have to squeeze uniquely shaped cargo into the back of a C-130, at which point it can seem almost impossible without the correct training and techniques.
