Pave Lows were operating from Air Force Base Hoedspruit in South
Africa, where they are deployed in support of Operation Atlas
Response. Operation Atlas Response was a multi-national humanitarian
relief mission helping displaced people in Central and Southern
Mozambique that have been devastated by recent floods.
