 Three sling load operators with aerial support operations task force life-planer endure hurricane force winds every day to get sustainment supplies to soldiers in remote locations. The team pushes more than 300 metric tons of sustainment cargo a month to soldiers throughout Afghanistan. We do anything from connexes to generators. We do fuel blivvets. It just all depends on what the customer wants. Each one of these soldiers is highly trained and proficient at their jobs and prove it daily by hooking up loads and tumultuous conditions underneath these massive helicopters. You have to go through airborne, aerosol and be sling load qualified. You have to pay attention, constantly be aware of your job safety and everything else. You can't be in a mindset of all, I've done this a hundred times. The mission is clear. Attach the cargo to the helicopter, but each load requires a different technique to make that happen. The pilots have two options, long line or short line based on the cargo and conditions. One, you're like, oh man, all this dust is going to come and blow me in my face and then just, it's fun out there having fun. It's not really like you're working. I like doing it. The thrill, the excitement and the importance of the mission keep these aerial support operators in the road or wash every day. My main priority in my mission is to make sure my soldiers are safe and make sure that we complete our mission. For Task Force Lifeline or Bogmer Field Afghanistan, I'm Army Staff Sergeant Peterson Clair.
