U.S. Air Force personnel load eight pallets of equipment onto a USAF C-17 Globemaster III from Joint Base Charleston, S.C., at March Air Reserve Base, Calif., April 26, 2015. The equipment is for the Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 2, or CA-TF2. When called upon, these teams travel with specialized equipment, such as heavy concrete cutting equipment, chainsaws, search cameras and sonar to locate victims, as well as specialized communications and generators. In addition to the pallets there were 57 members of the CA-TF2 as well as six search dogs. To keep the aircraft moving, the mission will be flown by three different aircrews, two from the 437th Airlift Wing at JB Charleston and one from the 164th Airlift Wing at the Tennessee Air National Guard in Memphis, TN.
