A CH-47F Chinook helicopter from Company C, 3rd Battalion, 82nd Aviation Regiment, 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade sling-loading a M777 lightweight towed howitzer to the forward operating base in Spin Buldak, southeastern Afghanistan. The howitzer is one of many being relocated to Spin Buldak in support of Bravo Battery, 3rd Battalion, 17th Field Artillery Regt., 5th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, out of Fort Lewis, Wa. The Stryker brigade's recent arrival to southern Afghanistan continues the buildup of U.S. force presence in support of the Afghan National Security Forces and the security of the people of Afghanistan. Southern Afghanistan is the "home" of the Taliban, calling for a stronger U.S. and coalition force presence.

<h2>Damaged C-17 moved off Bagram runway</h2>
Staff report
Posted : Wednesday Feb 4, 2009 18:53:12 EST
More than 200 people and a 120-ton crane were needed to move a badly damaged C-17 Globemaster off a runway at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan.
The C-17 made a wheels-up landing Friday at the base, the largest military airfield in Afghanistan. While the accident did not completely shut down Air Force and Army flight operations out of Bagram, the plane wreckage limited the use of Bagram until Monday’s operation.

Crash recovery and emergency management crews survey a C-17 Globemaster III on Jan. 31 as it rests on the active runway of Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan, after landing Jan. 30 with its landing gear retracted. More than 120 airmen, DoD civilians and contractors successfully removed the crippled aircraft from the runway Feb. 2.
