More than 20 multinational service members from Exercise Kiwi Flag congregate near a drop-zone area Nov. 14 at the New Zealand Defence Force Raumi Drop Zone near Ohakea, New Zealand, in support of Exercise Kiwi Flag. The group, representing four nations, is participating in a subject-matter-expert exchange to enhance interoperability in combined air-drop operations. Kiwi Flag is a multilateral RNZAF-sponsored tactical airlift exercise comprising air assets from the U.S. Air Force, RNZAF, Royal Australian Air Force, Republic Of Singapore Armed Forces and French Armed Forces of New Caledonia. The group will recover cargo delivered via a RSAF C-130 Hercules which is scheduled to fly by at approximately 900 feet above ground level to drop palleted cargo to the crew below. Kiwi Flag personnel are supporting Exercise Southern Katipo - held on New Zealand's South Island - by managing air operations and providing cargo and passenger airlift including tactical air drops to SK participants. SK hosts nine countries involved in air, land and maritime operations. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Master Sgt. Denise Johnson/Released)
