374 LRS Airmen prepare bundles for OCD 24

Airmen assigned to the 374th Logistics Readiness Squadron combat mobility flight at Yokota Air Base, Japan, rig a bundle for Operation Christmas Drop 2024 at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, Dec. 4, 2024. The “Low-Cost Low Altitude” bundles dropped during OCD 24 are considered by the military airlift community to be cost-efficient and easy to apply because they use readily available resources and can be built at a fraction of the cost of other airdrop bundles. Furthermore, they are dropped at low-altitude to improve drop accuracy. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Natalie Doan)
