Merry Christmas! For 69-years the US Air Force has performed what has become the oldest continuing Department of Defense mission and the longest-running humanitarian airlift in the world. Every year, the multinational Operation Christmas Drop brings school supplies, clothing, rice, fishing equipment, and toys to more than 50 remote Pacific islands throughout the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau. Utilizing Air Force C-130J "Super Hercules" aircraft, the operation also gives the Airmen the opportunity to practice humanitarian aid drops, as they'll later be expected to conduct drops over countries like Iraq or Afghanistan after deployment.
