Royal Australian Air Force Flight Lt. Russel Withers, 37th Squadron pilot, adjusts the direction of the RAAF C-130J Super Hercules as it flies toward Micronesian islands during the 66th Operation Christmas Drop, Dec. 10, 2017. OCD is important because if a humanitarian aid or contingency operation in an unfamiliar area arises, the training and experience from this event improves the Air Force’s ability to drop bundles at a fast and efficient rate.
