I don’t have much experience with “heavies”.
Who packs the US Army’s stuff? If it is the AF, this is an embarrassment. If it is the Army, then I can see the chuckles...
I have no idea who does it now, but back in my day AF loadmasters had final say on all palletized materiel flying out of the ass end of USAF aircraft.
Actually, it is both.
When those aircraft loads, including rolling stock (HUMVEEs) were rigged and loaded, there were would have been Air Force personnel working with the Army. However, the primary responsiblity for accomplishing the rigging of the Army equipment (in this case in Germany) would have probably have been the U.S. Army 5th Quartermaster Detachment based in Kaiserslautern. The 173d Airborne is based out of Italy, and they would have had representatives during the rigging as well. And as I said, I believe the aircraft were probably C-130s from the 37th Airlift Squadron our of Ramstein, Germany.
