00:07.440 --> 00:09.607
dangerous roads and bad weather around

00:09.607 --> 00:11.662
Fob Apache means supplies come in by

00:11.662 --> 00:14.100
air sea 1 30 pilot by trade . The

00:14.100 --> 00:15.989
Lieutenant Colonel barry Barnes ,

00:15.989 --> 00:17.989
teaches troops on the ground how to

00:17.989 --> 00:20.100
receive airdrops . I know air dropped

00:20.100 --> 00:22.156
from the ground . I knew air dropped

00:22.156 --> 00:22.060
from the air and I'm able to provide

00:22.060 --> 00:24.170
that for these guys . He leads them

00:24.170 --> 00:26.059
through radio procedures , how to

00:26.059 --> 00:28.114
secure the drop zone and how to call

00:28.114 --> 00:30.059
the winds and the way the airplane

00:30.059 --> 00:32.281
knows where to drop the package . So he

00:32.281 --> 00:31.890
hits dead center on the runway where he

00:31.890 --> 00:33.890
wanted to land . They're gonna drop

00:33.890 --> 00:36.210
everything about 300m behind me here .

00:36.470 --> 00:38.248
Even though there are about 90%

00:38.248 --> 00:40.248
accurate when it comes to the small

00:40.248 --> 00:42.359
dispersement box they set up ahead of

00:42.359 --> 00:44.414
time . We certainly don't want to be

00:44.414 --> 00:43.940
anywhere near them . When they fall ,

00:44.220 --> 00:46.360
these bundles dropped 60 to 90 ft per

00:46.360 --> 00:48.660
second , weighing more than £1000 .

00:48.670 --> 00:50.559
Once on the ground , the soldiers

00:50.559 --> 00:52.614
recover their bundles securing their

00:52.614 --> 00:54.837
food and water essential to the mission
