Royal Australian Air Force Sergeant Karl Penny, left, and Warrant Officer Nicholas Stubbs-Race, both 37th Squadron loadmasters, prepare to release a bundle during the 66th Operation Christmas Drop, Dec. 10, 2017. The aircrews airdropped food, supplies and educational materials to islanders throughout the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, Federated States of Micronesia, and Republic of Palau. These islands are some of the most remote locations on the globe spanning a distance nearly as broad as the continental US. ( Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. David Owsianka)
