Senior Airman Andy Kruczyk, 90th Civil Engineer Squadron, undoes the straps keeping the cargo in place on the truck April 30 at Bldg. 1284 during the Phase I exercise. The 90th CES Airmen practiced packing and loading cargo and the 90th LRS Airmen practiced unloading and processing cargo during the exercise (U.S. Air Force Photos/Staff Sgt. Chad Thompson).
Airman 1st Class Justin Colwell, 90th Logistics Readiness Squadron, helps marshall the forklift driver Airman 1st Class Cody Jones, 90th LRS, toward the truck to unload the cargo pallets April 30 during the Phase I exercise at Bldg. 1284.
Airman Jones unloads a pallet from a truck during the exercise. After the Airmen unloaded all the cargo, they went through an inprocessing line as if readying the cargo for deployment.
Airman Colwell motions the forklift to stop, while Airman 1st Class Ricky Sherman, 90th LRS, prepares to inprocess the cargo. The in checking area is used to check the pallet's height, weight, netting and paperwork to ensure the cargo is ready for shipment. If there are any problems with the pallet, it could be delayed, and it will have to be fixed before it is processed and ready for transport.
The cargo inchecking area is designed so the Airmen unloading the carg can inspect and process equipment. If there are any problems with a pallet, it could be delayed, and it will have to be fixed before it is processed and ready for transport.
Once stopped in the cargo inchecking area, the pallet is lowered on the weight scale.
The pallet's height is also measured in the inchecking area. Height is important depending on the aircraft the cargo will be shipped on. For example, the overall height clearance of a C-17 Globemaster III is greater than a C-130 Hercules.
