Spartans welcome new aerial delivery system

A paratrooper with the 4th Quartermaster Company, assigned to the 725th Brigade Support Battalion, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, recovers equipment from a supply pallet that was dropped using the Low-Cost, Low Velocity (LCLV) parachute delivery system onto Malemute Drop Zone at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, May 16. This is the first time equipment has been dropped into Alaska using this type of delivery system. The LCLV can safely drop a supply pallet weighing up to and including 2,200 pounds into remote locations such as those found in Afghanistan, or Alaska. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Eric-James Estrada)
