The Air Force Reserve 913th Airlift Group recently was named the recipient of the 2019 General James H. Doolittle Trophy by Air Mobility Command.
The award was established by the Air Force Historical Foundation as a way to recognize a unit that has displayed bravery, determination while accomplishing its mission under difficult conditions.
While deployed in 2019, the total force crew led a formation airdrop mission of critical supplies in a highly contested environment, overcoming harsh weather and limited communication equipment. The formation was a mix of two C-130J Super Hercules and four C-17 Globemaster IIIs supporting eight different forward operating bases throughout the combat theatre.
