A U.S. Air Force MH-53J Pave Low helicopter is unloaded from a C-5
Galaxy at the Libreville International Airport, Republic of Gabon, on
March 25, 1997. Command and support elements for a forward joint
task force and other enabling elements are deploying to locations in
several West African countries as part of contingency planning for a
possible future evacuation from Zaire. The deployment is an
enhancement to planning for contingency measures to ensure the security
of U.S. citizens in Zaire if an evacuation should become necessary. The
Pave Low and its crew are deployed from the 21st Special Operations
Squadron, RAF Mildenhall, United Kingdom. The C-5 is from the 9th
Airlift Squadron, Dover Air Force Base, Del. DoD photo by Staff
