62nd AW conducts first C-17 JPADS training

Staff Sgts. Kevin Johnson, left, 8th Airlift Squadron, and Staff Sgt. Todd Tichawa, left, 62nd Operations Support Squadron, prepare to open the doors before the first continental C-17 Globemaster III Joint Precision Airdrop System airdrop during routine training March 8, 2012, at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash. While JPADS have been used in theater since 2006, the majority of aircrews haven’t had the opportunity to fine-tune their skills prior to executing this method during actual combat missions.
