Airmen from the 56th Fighter Wing board a C-17 Globemaster III Sept. 13, at Luke Air Force Base. The C-17 from Altus Air Force Base, Oklahoma, transported more than 40 Luke Airmen to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey, in support of Operation Allies Welcome. They will assist with medical screenings, lodging, and other general support services for Afghan evacuees. Luke Airmen rapidly mobilized to answer the call for support with less than a four-day notice to assist with the sheltering of thousands of Afghan evacuees from Kabul, Afghanistan.
