Before that C-130 rolls down the strip, the Air Transportation Specialist makes sure it's packed tight with everything the troops will need to complete missions. From food, water, and medical supplies to Humvees and helicopters, you'll be responsible for securely packing cargo so that it can be loaded and transported safely and quickly. You’ll even be responsible for checking in passengers and baggage when the cargo is actually military personnel. Once that plane takes off, there’s no turning back if something’s forgotten, which is why the Air Transportation Specialist ensures absolutely everything is loaded and ready to go.
