Jestin Keesec, 921st Contingency Response Squadron aerial port, operates a fork lift while loading a C-17 Globe Master II with supplies used in the humanitarian effort in Ecuador at Alfaro International Airport April 28, 2016. The United States is providing support to the government and people of Ecuador in response to the April 16, 2016, 7.8 magnitude earthquake that devastated towns along the Ecuadorian coast. Airmen were sent to Ecuador to provide Air Traffic Control technical assessment and support to increase the efficiency of Alfaro International Airport in Manta. The U.S. Air Force has a long history of supporting humanitarian assistance and disaster response overseas, especially through its work with USAID’s Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance, which is the U.S. lead federal agency coordinating the United States’ disaster response efforts around the world.
