Tech. Sgt. Joshua Gaines, a 43rd Air Mobility Squadron shift supervisor, checks a tow strap before loading cargo onto a K Loader during a Deployment Readiness Exercise on Pope Army Airfield Jan. 8, 2017. Cold weather had frozen stiff the rollers on the K Loader, requiring 43rd AMS porters to pull the cargo onto the loader with a forklift. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt. Thomas J. Doscher)
