CAMP BUEHRING, KUWAIT -- When supplies are needed on the battlefield, a fast and safe way to do this is the Air Drop. The reason to practice such an event is so when a UH-60 Black Hawk cannot fit in to a landing zone or the fighting is too intense and the much needed supplies must be dropped to the troops in theater. Soldiers from the 371st Sustainment Brigade, 1st Battalion 147th Aviation Regiment, 824th Quarter Master Company and 215th Brigade Support Battalion 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division conducted a practice Air Drop on July 27, 2017.
