U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) provided urgent, life-saving assistance to Pakistan on September 5, 2025, to deliver essential relief to civilians impacted by the recent catastrophic flooding.
The joint operation, conducted in coordination with the U.S. Chief of Mission and at the request of Pakistan, included the delivery of urgent supplies and equipment on U.S. Air Force aircraft, supported by U.S. Army Soldiers. The effort directly supports the Pakistani military’s ongoing flood operations.
Four C-17 aircraft departed Ali Al Salem Air Base carrying the initial shipment of life-saving materials, arriving at Nur Khan Air Base in Pakistan before onward distribution to the areas most severely affected by the floods.
“Our close coordination and seamless interoperability have been instrumental in rapidly delivering vital assistance,” said Adm. Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander. “This mission reflects the enduring friendship and shared resolve between our two militaries.”
