Republic of Korea Air Force personnel inspect and observe operations as a C-130J Super Hercules assigned to the 36th Airlift Squadron is configured for a heavy equipment airdrop during Hercules Guardians 2024, Sept. 10, 2024, at Gimhae Air Base, ROK. HG24 is a weeklong, bilateral exercise that incorporates a blend of U.S. and ROK forces in mission planning, subject matter exchanges, scenario-based flying training and multiple airdrops - to include heavy equipment, container delivery systems, artillery and personnel delivery. HG24 allowed members of the 374th Operations Support Squadron, 374th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron and 36th Airlift Squadron to learn more about ROKAF procedures, demonstrate U.S. Air Force techniques, tactics and procedures, all while demonstrating the interoperability between joint airdrop operations.
