A new Global Positioning System-guided Joint Precision Air Drop System
bundle, known as Screamer 2K, floats to the ground after being dropped
from the back of a C-130 Hercules over Afghanistan Aug. 31. The drop
was made from 17,500 feet above sea level, and was the first joint Air
Force-Army operational drop of JPADS in the U.S. Central Command area
of responsibility. Four bundles were dropped from the Alaska Air
National Guard C-130. All four bundles arrived at the drop zone,
resupplying Army troops on the ground with ammunition and water. (U.S.
