PACAF’s largest combat mobility flight delivers vital supplies to warfighters
An M1 cargo parachute release rests upon a heavy cargo pallet at the 773d Logistics Readiness Squadron combat mobility flight at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Jan. 18, 2018. As the cargo load touches down after an airdrop, the M1 triggers the parachute to fall to the side of the load, initiating the release and preventing loads from dragging or tipping. If the screws are not tightened properly, it could result in complete loss of the assets on the pallet.
