Air Force and Army personnel use a K-loader to load the Joint Precision Air Drop system bundles onto a C-130J Hercules, Bagram AF, Afghanistan, Nov. 27, 2011. The JPAD system uses a GPS navigation system to guide parachute bundles to precise drop zones, minimizing collateral damage, troops' ground travel, and the vulnerability of the air craft. Campbell is deployed from the 41st Airlift Squadron, Little Rock AFB, Ark.
