Staff Sgt. James Richardson, a combat camera operator with the 1st Combat Camera Squadron at Joint Base Charleston, S.C., watches a cargo load parachute to the ground today after it was dropped from the cargo bay of a C-17 Globemaster III during a training mission. The mission, named Exercise Furious Moose, was a joint total-force effort between JB Charleston’s active duty airmen of 437th Airlift Wing and the Reserve airmen of the 315th Airlift Wing, which included completing a variety of mission readiness training objectives for aircrews, maintenance and support crews.
