BILLINGS - When the a devastating earthquake hit Haiti last month, the U.S. Air Force began a massive response to get much needed supplies into the region and evacuees out.

Throughout the week, KULR-8's Sarah Gravlee has been at Charleston Air Force Base learning exactly what the mission is all about. Sarah returned late Thursday night and is working to put all the footage together.

While she was in Charleston she spoke to some of the nine members of the Montana Air National Guard who are down there to assist in the mission. She also boarded one of the planes taking supplies into Haiti. These missions are about 22 hours long and flight crews are working around the clock to keep up with the need in Haiti.

Tune in on Monday and Tuesday for her exclusive coverage as Montana responds to Operation Unified Response.
