A village chief looks at the camera while sorting and dividing humanitarian supplies for equal distribution among his people during Operation Christmas Drop, Dec. 10, 2018, on Fais Island, Federated States of Micronesia. OCD is a humanitarian aid and disaster relief training exercise designed to not only provide remote un-surveyed airdrop training for aircrew, enhancing HA/DR response capabilities, but also provides over 60,000 pounds of humanitarian aid and supplies to 56 remote Pacific islands that rarely have contact for or access to regular supplies.
