The 172d Airlift Wing supported Hurricane Harvey relief

The 172d Airlift Wing supported Hurricane Harvey relief efforts August 29, 2017, by responding with a five-member team from the wing's Airlift Control Flight (ALCF). The ALCF team transported weather equipment that will be used for strategic tactical communications. Providing transport on a C-17 Globemaster III, was a six-team member flight crew from the 172d AW. The Jackson, Mississippi based Air National Guard unit flight crew then flew to Kentucky to pick up a contingency response group from that state's National Guard. Once boarding those personnel and equipment, the 172d AW transported those Guardsmen to Texas for Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. (Photo by Capt. Joshua Stoll, 172d Airlift Wing)
