U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Carson Christian, 374th Operations Support Squadron joint airdrop inspector, inspects heavy equipment for an airdrop during Hercules Guardians 2024, Sept. 10, 2024, at Gimhae Air Base, Republic of Korea. HG24 is a weeklong, bilateral exercise that incorporates a blend of U.S. and ROK forces in mission planning, subject matter exchanges, scenario-based flying training and multiple airdrops - to include heavy equipment, container delivery systems, artillery and personnel delivery. HG24 allowed members throughout the 374th OSS, 374th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron and 36th Airlift Squadron to collaborate, exchange knowledge and ultimately advance interoperability across the Indo-Pacific region with their ROK Air Force partners.
