- Airdrop Support for Operation Enduring Freedom.
- Members of the 5th Quartermaster Detachment and the 37th Airlift Squadron load TRIADS with humanitarian daily rations for airdrop at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, during Operation Enduring Freedom.
- The airdrop began during the hours of darkness on October 8 by order of the President. Soldiers in the 5th Quartermaster Detachment began to prepare for the first high-altitude airdrop of humanitarian supplies from the C-17 Globemaster III aircraft. ...
- Also, the 421st Quartermaster Airdrop Company from Georgia was mobilized and sent to Germany to assist with the growing requirements.
- The TRIADS containers held from 440 to 610 individual HDR meals, depending on the airdrop altitude. ...

- High-Velocity Airdrop.
- Many HDRs also were dropped in Container Delivery Systems (CDSs) by the high-velocity airdrop method of delivery. ...
- Low-velocity aerial delivery was used successfully to airdrop 801 short tons of wheat and blankets. As local newscasts in the United States broadcast an Air Force C-17 delivering food, another airdrop was also ongoing, and rightly so, without as much publicity.
- Low-Velocity Airdrop.
- As the effort to locate the terrorists within Afghanistan grew, the soldiers of the 5th Quartermaster Detachment played another critical role in the airdrop support of Operation Enduring Freedom. These Quartermasters provided resupply airdrop of all classes of supplies to United States and Allied soldiers and other government agencies that were covertly and overtly inserted into Afghanistan. ... The airdrop support was above and beyond the stated capability of the riggers assigned to the special operations forces at forward staging bases and intermediate staging bases throughout the area of responsibility.
- More than 2,700 CDS loads (more than 2,400 short tons) rigged for low velocity airdrop of Classes I (rations), II (general supplies), packaged III (petroleum, oils and lubricants), IV (construction and barrier materiel), V (ammunition), VI (personal demand items), VIII (medical supplies) and IX (repair parts) were delivered directly into Afghanistan and into Special Forces operating bases throughout the region. ...

6. The Dual Row Airdrop System (DRAS)
- www.quartermaster.army.mil
- The Dual Row Airdrop System (DRAS).
- To inform the military service about the Dual Row Airdrop System (DRAS), its capabilities to increase logistical support on the battlefield, and its use during operations other than war.
- The DRAS program is a Department of the Army initiative to acquire a system that will increase the C-17 aircraft’s cargo carrying capacity in support of the XVIII Airborne Corps Strategic Brigade Airdrop (SBA) mission. ...
- The goal is to maximize C-17 airdrop capabilities by simultaneously dropping eight 18-foot modified platforms using a gravity-release system, thereby increasing combat forces or supplies on the battlefield.
- The DRAS will consist of airdrop items weighing up to 14,500 pounds, that will fit on the 18-foot by 88-inch wide airdrop platform, and can be delivered by the logistics rail system on the C-17 aircraft using gravity extraction. The airdrop platforms will not freefall but will be delivered by the cargo recovery system (G-12/G-11 parachute). ...
- These are aircraft logistics rail failure and airdrop equipment failure. ... Airdrop equipment failure is less common, but in the event that this foreseen failure does occur, it is because the main recovery system does not function (parachute fails to open). ...
- Rigging procedures for high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWV), the most common airdrop asset of the 82d Airborne Division, will be intensely validated, documented, and eventually provided for Echo Company, 782d Main Support Battalion, the rigging unit that supports the division. ...

- Joint Precision Airdrop System (JPADS) ACTD.
- High altitude, precision airdrop is expected to be a key enabling technology for the Objective Force. ...
- The Precision and Extended Glide Airdrop System (PEGASYS), which is a family of variant weight systems, will allow conventional military aircraft to accurately drop sensors, munitions, and/or a huge range of supplies onto the battlefield while minimizing risk to the aircraft and the possibility of enemy detection of aircraft drop zones. ...
- Numerous components of this ACTD along with additional state-of-the-art technologies will be demonstrated at the Precision Airdrop Technology Conference and Demonstration (PATCAD) scheduled for 3 - 7 Nov 03 at Yuma Proving Ground, AZ. ...

- Airdrop Derigging Procedures .
- Much of the damage to airdrop equipment occurs during derigging. Follow specific procedures to prevent unnecessary damage and loss of vital airdrop equipment. Derigging procedures and special tools needed for the derigging of airdrop loads are described in this chapter. ...
- Airdrop Platform Load Derigging Procedures .
- Derigging procedures consist primarily of removing the basic components of the rigging equipment from the load so that the airdrop items maybe moved quickly from the drop zone and put into use. For reasons of supply economy, ensure that the airdrop rigging equipment is removed properly during derigging. ...
- Remove the components of the parachute release from the suspension slings on platform-suspended loads before the airdrop load is removed from the platform (Figure 2-3 and Figure 3-l). ...
- When the load is rigged, the tie-down straps and the load binders or ratchet tie-downs which secure the load to the airdrop platform are extremely tight. ...
- (2) Pull the strap free from the tie-down provision, and remove the tie-down strap and load binder from the airdrop item and airdrop platform (Figure 3-3). ...
- When an accompanying load and/or related airdrop equipment is used, remove the tie-down group the same way as explained above. Remove the accompanying load and/or related airdrop equipment from the airdrop item or platform. ...
- On most loads, the honeycomb can be kicked free from the airdrop item or the item can be driven or towed off the platform. ...
- NOTE: When you derig tandem load LAPE airdrop platforms, the articulated links must be removed from the platforms. ... This could result in damage to the airdrop equipment.
