Flying the Hump

Until mid-May 1942, the Burma Road had been the access route for supply delivery. However, with the Japanese pushing west through China to the border of India, taking Burma along the way, the Allies looked for another way to keep the more than 50,000 American and 200,000 Chinese soldiers well-equipped in China.

Operation Deep Freeze is the codename for the Department of Defense joint, inter-agency support of scientific research in Antarctica. The US Air Force has provided annual support for the mission since 1955. Transporting personnel and critical supplies to the most remote and inhospitable location on the planet is no easy task. USAF airmen and aircraft face many challenges operating in the harsh arctic environment where seasonal temperatures can drop lower than -30 degrees Fahrenheit. Despite these difficulties, the dedicated men and women of the USAF provide regular aerial resupply, medical assistance, and transportation to the scientists of the National Science Founda tion (NSF) and US Antarctic Program (USAP). These scientists study Antarctica’s glaciers and geology, climate, weather, and marine life. The US Air Force is a proud partner to peaceful scientific research and exploration in Antarctica.

In 2018, then-Technical Sergeant Kenneth O’Brien was one of approximately forty US mili-tary personnel deployed to Thailand to assist Thai authorities with rescue efforts. O’Brien, a pararescueman (PJ) with the 320th Special Tactics Squadron, volunteered to be one of the first US divers in the cave. He also aided in multiple days of preparation leading up to the rescue, moving equipment and supplies through the cave system and clearing obstacles and hazards in the sump between Chambers 2 and 3. During the three days of rescue, O’Brien was the lead medic in Chamber 3 and assessed all twelve boys, the coach, and rescue divers for injuries to determine if the rescue could continue. Each Airman typically chose their own wetsuit and other gear based on their personal needs and preferences, often using things they had collected over their careers. Sgt O’Brien wore the wetsuit, water boots, gloves, and helmet seen here throughout the eight-day mission. The buoyancy compensator, tank, and facemask are representative examples of other equipment O’Brien used.
