A boat flies out of the back of a C-17 Globemaster III April 9, 2012, over the ocean surrounding Naval Base Guam during a five-day mission to fly, execute airdrops, and foster joint service and international operability in the Pacific theater. During the mission, the aircrew dropped static-line personnel, heavy equipment platforms, high-velocity container delivery system bundles, low-velocity CDS bundles, and high-altitude low-opening jumpers during their time in Guam. The aircraft was deployed from the 535th Airlift Squadron at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam, Hawaii. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Nathan Allen)
