Gunnery Sgt. Lorrin K. Bush, 35, looks skyward as a Sherpa precision parachute system approaches its drop zone outside  Camp Korean Village, Iraq, on Aug. 9, 2004. The Sherpa is a commercially produced system guided by the Global Positioning System that can steer itself from nearly five miles high to within 200 meters of a targeted drop point, enabling pilots to stay out of the range of enemy fire. Two Sherpa systems made their debut flights and precision landings in a combat zone Aug. 9. Bush, a native of Kailua Kona, Hawaii, heads the Marine Corps' 1st Air Delivery Platoon, which rigs loads of supplies for troops in far-flung locations. The platoon, which is part of Combat Service Support Battalion 7, received the Sherpas from Multinational Corps - Iraq in Baghdad. CSSB-7, part of the Corps' 1st Force Service Support Group, provides logistical support to I Marine Expeditionary Force troops throughout the western part of Iraq's Al Anbar Province.
