Army Soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division load onto a C-130 Hercules before they parachute onto drop zone Sicily during Operation Toy Drop Dec. 6 at Fort Bragg, N.C. Operation Toy Drop is an annual Airborne jump at Fort Bragg in its 11th year hosted by the Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command (Airborne), and supported by Fort Braggs XVIII Airborne Corps and Pope AFB's 43rd Airlift Wing that gives Soldiers and Airmen the opportunity to help local families in need over the holidays while boosting morale and incorporating valuable training. More than 3,000 Soldiers donated a toy for a lottery ticket and the chance to jump under a foreign jumpmaster earning them their foreign jump wings. This year, German and Irish jumpmasters will be issuing the commands from C-130 Hercules aircraft during the operation. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Airman Ali E. Flisek)
