Gunnery Sgt. Wesley Key, U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Europe, Strategic Mobility chief explains the load plan to his Norwegian military counterpart while they build pallets for relief supplies for eastern Turkey so they can be loaded and delivered to the thousands of people displaced by the 7.2 magnitude quake. Marines, airmen and Norwegian soldiers work around the clock to load emergency equipment onto a C-17 U.S. Air Force Globemaster III.
