Loadmasters from the 737th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron secure the cargo bay on a C-130 Hercules after a mission in support of Operation Inherent Resolve Aug. 8, 2017, at an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia. The C-130 primarily performs the tactical portion of the airlift mission. The aircraft is capable of operating from rough, dirt strips and is the prime transport for airdropping troops and equipment into hostile areas. ( Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Michael Battles)
