Helicopter Deployment Readiness Training
Airmen provide cover while a UH-60 Black Hawk takes off during helicopter deployment readiness training March 25, 2011, at Davison Army Airfield, Va. Airmen are increasingly traveling by helicopters to avoid improvised explosive devices and the direct fire associated with road convoys in a deployed environment. This training program gives them the confidence to execute their core job and not be distracted by the noise, confusion and unfamiliarity of tactical joint air operations.
