Massive attack in Mogadishu spurs quick-response support from CJTF-HOA

U.S. Airmen from the 449th Air Expeditionary Group load pallets of medical and humanitarian aid supplies onto a U.S. C-130J Super Hercules at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, Oct. 17, 2017. The aid is being delivered to the Somali people following a devastating terrorist attack that killed and injured hundreds in Mogadishu on Oct. 14. Working with the Federal Government of Somalia, the U.S. Mission to Somalia immediately arranged for the air shipment. On a Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa mission, the C-130 carried several pallets of medical equipment and supplies. The United States will continue to stand with the Somali government, its people, and international allies to combat terrorism and support efforts to achieve peace, security and prosperity.
