Four vehicle tires drop to the runway after a low-cost, low-altitude air drop at Forward Operating Base Ghazni, in Ghazni Province, Afghanistan, Aug. 8, 2013. Using air rather than ground transportation for supply delivery increased efficiency and kept Soldiers off the road and out of harm’s way.  (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Sgt.
