Caption:
The Panjshir PRT conducted a MEDCAP and humanitarian assistance drop in
the Panjshir Province’s Paryan District Oct. 28. At nearly 10,000
feet above sea level, Paryan has the highest elevation of the six
districts in the Panjshir Valley. Since the rough and narrow road to
the district cannot support truck transport, helicopter airlift of
supplies was necessary. Using slings around pallets of food supplies, a
Chinook helicopter's crew prepares to drop off one of two loads
totaling four tons to help the district’s 38K residents prepare
for winter. (U.S. Air Force photo/Tech. Sgt. John Cumper).
