Airborne 23: where US airlift meets Japan tactical insertion

Staff Sgt. Tanner Huff and Senior Airman Thomas Jones, 36th Airlift Squadron loadmasters, prepare for a cargo bundle drop from a C-130J Super Hercules during the Airborne 2023 training maneuver above the East Fuji Maneuver Area, Japan, Jan. 31, 2023. Nine C-130J aircraft assigned to Yokota and Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas, participated in the Airborne 23 training maneuver by airlifting 100 cargo bundles to predetermined drop zones for JGSDF ground operations training. The annual Airborne 23 training is the largest static-line paratrooper jump and cargo drop training maneuver between the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, and JGSDF, which aims to improve coordination and operational efficiency between partner forces.
