It came down via parachute and landed in a wooded area on Walter Lane, officials said.

The cargo didn't hit anyone or anything.

Marvin Krause from Joint Base Charleston told WCSC the aircraft was assigned to the 437th Airlift Wing.

“The C-17 took off from Pope Army Airfield, Fort Bragg, North Carolina, on a routine air drop test training mission and inadvertently dropped a U.S. Army Humvee vehicle prematurely over Cameron, North Carolina, approximately five miles from the Fort Bragg drop zone,” Krause told WCSC.

The C-17 later landed at Pope Army Airfield.
