Kabul Airlift 816th EAS Art
Kabul Airlift 816th EAS Art
Operation Allies Refuge, aka The Kabul Airlift, was the most audacious airlift in a generation. Against all odds, in only 16 days’ time, C – 17 aircrews from all around the Mobility Air Forces, anchored by the 816th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron out of Al Udeid AB, Qatar, and in concert with NATO allies, evacuated over 124,000 American, Afghan, and Allied personnel from a land – locked country in hostile territory half a world away. They did so without regard for the their own personal safety or consideration concerning the normal operation of the aircraft. There are generations of people to come that they made possible… men and women who will walk the Earth in Freedom because of their efforts. They made the difference, and proved once again, for a 2 – week period in the Summer of 2021, why the US Air Force is the best in the world.

The C-17 Globemaster III is a cornerstone of U.S. Air Force mobility operations, renowned for its versatility and global reach. Designed for rapid strategic airlift, it transports troops, supplies, and vehicles to remote locations, including austere airfields with short runways. Equipped with state-of-the-art avionics and a robust airframe, the C-17 can carry up to 170,900 pounds of cargo or 102 paratroopers while ensuring rapid deployment. Its exceptional performance was on full display during missions like the Kabul Airlift, where it played a critical role in the evacuation of over 124,000 people in just 16 days. The Globemaster III exemplifies innovation, resilience, and the dedication of the aircrews who operate it.
