Staff Sgt. Alec Moser, an air transportation specialist from the Kentucky Air National Guard’s 123rd Logistics Readiness Squadron, loads cargo onto a C-130J Super Hercules aircraft from the 123rd Airlift Wing prior to departure from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, on April 24, 2024. Airmen from the squadron also palletized the cargo, which consists of building materials being shipped to Alaska’s North Slope. The items will be used to build homes for civilians as part of Innovative Readiness Training, a Defense Department program that provides service members with real-world deployment experience while offering lasting benefits to civilian populations.
