ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - The first relief supplies from the United
States are unloaded in Islamabad, Pakistan from a U.S. Air Force C-17
less than 48 hours after the devastating earthquake that left thousands
dead and thousands more injured. The C-17 and its crew from the 7th
Airlift Squadron, McChord Air Force Base, Wash., delivered 12 pallets --
weighing almost 90,000 pounds -- of food, water, medicine and blankets
from Bagram Air Field, Afghanistan. Two aerial port specialists from
Bagram's 455th Expeditionary Logistics Readiness Squadron were also on
the flight to coordinate and manage cargo at Islamabad. Airmen and
soldiers at Bagram, with only a few hours notice, worked feverishly to
palletize the supplies and prepare them for the flight. (U.S. Air Force
