ARLINGTON, Va. — The Air Force received its first two Collaborative Combat Aircraft at Creech Air Force Base, Nevada, marking a significant step toward integrating uncrewed, semi-autonomous aircraft into future combat operations. Anduril delivered the first CCA, the YFQ-44A, to the Experimental Operations Unit (EOU) in August, and General Atomics delivered the YFQ-42A last month. The aircraft will support Air Combat Command-led operational experimentation to refine how CCA will be employed alongside crewed aircraft in contested environments. “Putting CCA in the hands of airmen is how we build the operational future of this program,” said Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink. “Anduril’s Fury and General Atomics’ Vengeance deliveries show we can move at incredible speed, compete, and deliver cost-effective combat power to the force.” The arrival of the aircraft at Creech builds See Creech, Page 2

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE — Phoenix Spark brought Team Travis airmen together with 28 industry vendors to explore emerging technologies and potential solutions to military challenges during its annual Industry Day at Travis Air Force Base, Sept. 23. Industry Day featured technologies focused on human performance and readiness, contested logistics, security and counter-drone capabilities, allowing airmen to explore solutions for evolving mission needs. U.S. Air Force Maj. Dustin Wallace, 60th Air Mobility Wing chief of innovation and Phoenix Spark director, described Industry Day as an opportunity for airmen to connect directly with the companies developing military technology. “I hope it gets airmen thinking about technology as a solution,” Wallace said. “Maybe there is a better technology that would help you accomplish a mission faster or better, more effectively.” For airmen, Industry Day provided exposure to technologies beyond the systems they already use and an opportunity to see potential solutions to challenges they encounter while accomplishing the mission.

ers, the event offered a look at capabilities that could support their units and inform how they use available resources.
Counter-drone technology was the primary focus of Industry Day, with 18 of the 28 vendors showcasing capabilities
designed to defeat drone threats. The focus allowed airmen to explore technologies aimed at protecting personnel in modern operating environments. As technology continues to evolve, Industry Day gives airmen a closer look at emerging capabilities and how they could contribute to accomplishing the mission more effectively. That exposure also places airmen closer to the modernization process by encouraging them to consider new solutions to the challenges they face. “I hope more airmen are inspired to see what the realm of possibility is with cutting-edge technology,” Wallace said.
occurring in July. This acquisition approach enables the Air Force to evaluate aircraft performance and employment concepts while informing the training, sustainment, manpower and infrastructure needed to field the capability at scale. “We’re thrilled to welcome Fury and Vengeance to the experimental operational unit,” said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Ken Wilsbach. “Our airmen are excited
to see what Collaborative Combat Aircraft can do.” Airmen assigned to the EOU have already begun evaluating CCA operations in representative conditions, designed to assess how smaller teams can generate sorties from distributed and austere locations. The effort will help determine how CCA can extend the reach, flexibility and survivability of the Combat Air Forces while operating as part of a broader human-
machine team. The CCA program is part of a broader Department of the Air Force effort to deliver affordable, adaptable and combat-ready capability at speed. Operational experimentation at Creech will continue to inform how future units organize, train, equip and employ CCA in support of air superiority and other combat missions.

JOINT BASE ANDREWS, Md. — Joint Base Andrews activated the 5th Helicopter Squadron, Aug. 27, marking the installation’s first U.S. Air Force helicopter squadron activation in 60 years. The squadron stands up at a time when the base anticipates accepting the HH-60W Jolly Green II to execute Andrews’ 24/7 operations. The 5th HS will do so alongside the 1st Helicopter Squadron, which was the Air Force’s only rotary-wing unit in the National Capital Region for six decades until now. “The vision is very straightforward,” said Lt. Col. Jonathan Bonilla, who assumed command
DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, Del. — Two reserve maintainers with the 512th Maintenance Squadron created a new rigging set for the C-5M Super Galaxy aircraft engine system. Senior Master Sgt. Chad Bryant, isochronal inspection section chief, and Master Sgt. Tyler Dickson aircraft metals technology section chief, worked together for weeks with several civilian propulsion technicians from the 436th Maintenance Squadron to custom build the new set. The variable stator vane lever linkages rigging set includes six gauges that allow maintainers to ensure the aircraft’s F-138-GE100 engines are performing properly. Bryant said failure of the system could cause serious issues. “It could cause a compressor stall that may cause a lot of expensive damage and cause the engine to shut down,” said Bryant. “Most importantly, if this happens in flight, the pilot would have to shut down the corresponding engine. Being short two engines with a fully loaded aircraft is a dangerous sit-
as the first 5th HS commander. “We aim to rapidly and safely integrate the HH-60W into the missions here in the National Capital Region and establish a premier rotary-wing organization that supports our nation’s most critical missions, without any pause in operations.” Transitioning to the HH-60W will modernize the fleet and ensure sustainable operations with a modern airframe that meets current and future requirements. The HH-60W’s increased speed, range and carrying capacity will better deliver safe operations for U.S. senior leaders, service members and the communities around the region. See Andrews, Page 4

The rigging set can reduce the time spent on adjusting the system from 200 to 16 man-hours. uation for aircrew.” The current process to adjust the VSV system in the technical order takes a team of five maintainers about 40 hours to complete, said Bryant. In addition, it can cause breakage of hardware and parts that are often hard to procure. With the new gauge, the job can be done by two maintainers over an eight-hour shift and the damage to parts and hard-
ware is minimal. Bryant, who is due to retire in March 2027, said he couldn’t think of a better legacy to leave for his fellow maintainers. “It makes me feel good that I can leave this job in a better place,” he said. “Some of these jobs can make you sore with all of the working in tight spaces and having to constantly work on items located over your head.”
Bryant drew on his 32 years of aircraft maintenance to create the gauge. The current engines are roughly 12 years old and have left their warranty period. In the past, Bryant had worked extensively with the TF-39 engine that was installed on the C-5B Galaxy. There was a similar rigging set on that engine and Bryant decided to create one for the newer engines. Bryant then collaborated with Dickson to fabricate the gauge in the base machine shop. Dickson said projects like these are one of his favorite parts of his job. “It’s a personal satisfaction being able to help other shops increase their productivity and their ability to do their jobs,” said Dickson. “Everybody is so busy with the mission right now that any time gained back is so valuable.” The manufacturing of the gauge is a trial-anderror process, and the See Fix, Page 6

157TH AIR REFUELING WING
FORT DEVENS, Mass. — Across the wooded training areas of Fort Devens, Air National Guard civil engineers spent the week doing more than building, repairing and maintaining infrastructure. They moved through dense terrain carrying weapons and combat equipment. They navigated without relying on the Global Positioning System. They operated tactical vehicle convoys, treated simulated casualties under fire and defended an air base against an opposing force. For the nearly 200 airmen participating in Patriot Forge II, each task supported a larger objective: preparing civil engineers to survive, adapt and continue enabling airpower in a contested environment. Patriot Forge II, held Aug. 10-15, brought together Prime Base Engineer Emergency Force, or Prime BEEF, airmen from the 101st, 102d, 103d and 157th Civil Engineer Squadrons, along with supporting personnel from their respective wings. Airmen from Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connecticut trained side-by-side during the Region 1 field training exercise. The six-day event was designed to establish a common baseline of expeditionary combat capability across the region and prepare civil engineers to support Agile Combat Employment and distributed airpower. “Patriot Forge II is all about readiness,” said Lt. Col. Brett Bailey, 157th Civil Engineer Squadron commander and overall commander for the exercise. “That’s the biggest thing. We’re accomplishing our readiness requirements here.” Civil engineer squadrons contain a wide range of specialties, including electricians, firefighters, plumbers, heavy equipment operators, emergency managers and water and fuels systems specialists. Their technical capabilities enable Air Force missions to operate from both established bases and austere locations. Patriot Forge II focused on what airmen may have to do before, during and after performing those technical jobs. The capabilities learned here are increasingly important as the Air Force prepares for operations from dispersed locations against

The training event was designed to support Agile Combat Employment tactics and increase resiliency, survivability and superior combat power. sophisticated adversaries. Under Agile Combat Employment, forces may be required to operate with smaller teams, fewer resources and less predictable support than at a traditional installation. Patriot Forge II used four daylong training modules: mounted operations, dismounted operations, land navigation and integrated base defense, to develop the combat skills that enable airmen to get to the mission, protect the mission and continue the mission. During mounted operations, airmen learned the fundamentals of tactical vehicle operations before progressing into convoy scenarios. Students rotated through vehicle positions, including driver, radio operator and turret positions, requiring them to communicate and function as a crew while moving through unfamiliar terrain. The training provided experience that many airmen do not routinely receive during home-station drill weekends and reinforced that deployed teams may be assembled from multiple units. “Patriot Forge II pooled personnel, vehicles, instructors and logistical support from across New England, creating a training event that would be difficult for any single squadron to execute independently,” Bailey said. “The scale of the exercise allowed units to leverage their collective resources while exposing airmen to teammates they may not normally work with.” The dismounted operations module took the training outside the vehicles as airmen moved across Fort Devens’ South Post carrying approximately 50 pounds of individual combat equipment while practicing small-team movement,
tactical communications and defensive techniques. When teams encountered simulated opposing forces, they were required to react, maintain security and care for simulated casualties. The scenarios forced civil engineers to apply Tactical Combat Casualty Care, including tourniquet application and casualty carries, while simultaneously managing the surrounding threats and taking simulated fire. Integrated base defense continued that progression as airmen learned entry control point operations, defensive fighting positions, vehicle and personnel search procedures and how to react to hostile contact. As the day progressed, classroom concepts transitioned into increasingly complex scenarios, including teams defending a simulated base against an opposing force. “It’s everyone’s job to defend the base,” said Master Sgt. Jordan Thompson, a communications specialist with the 157th Civil Engineer Squadron and lead instructor for the base defense module. “The warrior mindset is very important. It’s not just going out and digging holes. Just because you get deployed to a location in which you feel safe, it doesn’t mean you are. You should always be ready.” In the land navigation module, airmen returned to basic tools that remain effective when modern technology does not. After classroom instruction on map reading, route planning, compass use and distance measurement, teams moved on to a roughly 300-acre course to apply those skills in wooded terrain. For Staff Sgt. Elijah St. Pierre, a water and fuels systems maintainer assigned to the 157th Air Refueling Wing, the value
was in preparing for the possibility that technology may not always be available. “At any point, our adversaries could disable [GPS] communications and make it impossible for us to do our job normally, so we need to learn the manual side of it,” St. Pierre said. The four modules were intentionally interconnected. A convoy may require tactical communications and casualty response. A dismounted patrol may require land navigation. A team moving into an austere location may become responsible for defending it. Rather than training those skills independently, Patriot Forge II was designed to expose airmen to multiple mission sets and require them to apply what they learned under increasingly stressful conditions. Long training days, summer heat, combat equipment and unfamiliar responsibilities added pressure to the scenarios. The exercise also created opportunities for junior airmen and noncommissioned officers to step into leadership roles they may not normally hold at home stations. Senior leaders deliberately stepped back most of the time, allowing company grade officers, junior NCOs and airmen to make decisions, lead teams and work through problems. At the same time, cadre remained available to provide guidance. “Give them a safe space to figure things out and try new things so that when they’re put in situations downrange in the future, it’s not the first time they’ve experienced it,” Bailey said. Airmen were placed in teams with varying experience levels and, in many See Forge, Page 6
In the next few years, the 5th HS will train aircrew and maintainers, establish operational and maintenance processes, and receive new aircraft as it prepares to execute the national security mission within the National Capital Region. Throughout the transition, the 1st HS will continue providing immediate-response capability and support daily operations with the UH-1N airframe. “The Huey has been part of this mission and this community for generations,” said Col. Kevin Geoffroy, 316th Operations Group commander and an HH-60W pilot. “Today, we are standing up the 5th Helicopter Squadron – a unit that inherits a proud, storied legacy. We will honor that legacy by delivering excellence as we modernize our fleet at Joint Base Andrews for the future.” The phased transition is designed to maintain the 1st HS’ immediateresponse mission while airmen establish the new squadron to train aircrew and maintainers and progressively bring HH-60Ws into service at JBA. The two squadrons will operate in parallel as the 5th HS progresses toward full operational capacity, which the Air Force anticipates will occur in 2030. Once the 5th HS has transitioned fully to the new airframe and can safely and sustainably execute the missions, the 1st HS will then begin transitioning from the historic UH-1N to the HH-60W platform. Its replacement will bring a platform with greater capacity for the demanding conditions of the mission, including enhanced navigation, secure communications, weather capability and personnel recovery. Since 1969, the 1st HS has supported its no-fail mission of immediateresponse contingency operations in support of vital national security requirements while maintaining a rigorous training schedule to ensure readiness over the decades, and has flown the UH-1N since 1971, with three of the Hueys that flew in the Vietnam War still flying today. As the nation approaches the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11,
2001, terrorist attacks, the 1st HS’s response remains a notable part of its history. Following the attack, the airmen immediately responded to provide support to U.S. senior leaders. “Our 24/7 mission continues while we prepare the next generation of airmen and aircraft to continue the legacy of excellence,” said Lt. Col. Zachary Minner, 1st HS commander. “The incredible professionals of the 1st Helicopter Squadron are ready to respond whenever the National Capital Region needs us.” The HH-60W represents a significant modernization of capability, including updated communications, navigation, weather, sensor and survivability systems. The aircraft is suited to support civil search and rescue, medical evacuation, disaster response, humanitarian assistance and rescue commandand-control missions. “Our priority is to maintain uninterrupted mission support and ensure the safety of our aircrew, senior leaders, and neighbors, while preparing the next generation of airmen for future operations,” Bonilla said. “The airmen here have carried out this mission for more than half a century. We stand on the shoulders of giants, and the 5th HS is the next evolution of airmen who time and time again deliver exactly what our nation asks of the military in a crisis or contingency.” In a time-honored tradition, the 5th HS gains its heraldry from the 5th Emergency Rescue Squadron, which was operational from 1944 to 1956. When Lt. Wilton Bowman, a YR-5 pilot assigned to the 5th ERS, flew the unusual machine past Andrews to a nearby air show in 1946, airmen dubbed it a “whirling oddity.” Eighty years later, the 5th Helicopter Squadron is carrying that legacy into a new era of rotary-wing operations. As the 5th HS activates, its airmen will turn a historic “whirling oddity” into a modern chapter of rotary-wing readiness. The unit’s task extends beyond receiving a new helicopter: it will train airmen, expand capability to meet future challenges, and lead the way in modernizing a legacy fleet to execute the Air Force’s vital national security mission.

Eglin airmen mobilize for life-saving medical flight Samuel K ing Jr.
TEAM EGLIN PUBLIC AFFAIRS
EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. — When the 413th Flight Test Squadron receives a call from the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center, it’s typically the last resort for someone in the community requiring a life-saving critical care flight. This was the case when the 413th FLTS and 96th Medical Group accepted a mission to transport a patient with a brain aneurysm from Panama City, Fla.’s Ascension Bay Hospital to Pensacola’s Sacred Heart Hospital for immediate neurosurgery, Aug. 5. “We are the last possible option to get that patient to a higher-level care facility,” said Maj. Richard Burges, a 413th FLTS test pilot, who took the initial call to start the mission. “However, we are a flight test unit and are not on alert to support these mission types. So, every time we’re able to accomplish one, it’s due to the efforts of our maintainers, medics, and flight equipment personnel.” The mission logistics and planning began quickly as soon as Lt. Col. Dale Hargis, the 413th FLTS’s commander, accepted the AFRCC task. The first call Burges made after that was to

A 413th Flight Test Squadron UH-1 Huey lifts off from the flightline at Duke Field, Fla., Dec. 18, 2014. The 413th FTS provides developmental testing to rotary wing aircraft such as the UH-1, CV-22 and the C-130. the 96th MDG. This mission required a physician, registered nurse and a paramedic. Once selected, the medical team gathered patient information from the Ascension Bay medical team to prepare the proper equipment, medications and create a treatment plan for the flight. Capt. Erik Bjelke, 96th MDG intensive care nurse, got the call
while preparing to leave for the day. He and Staff Sgt. Ramon Gonzalez, a 96th MDG paramedic, recently completed the 413th FLTS’s helicopter training, which ensured aircraft familiarity. Bjelke, Gonzalez and Dr. (Capt.) Jonathan Martin, a 96th MDG emergency physician, completed their team and rushed to the flightline in an ambulance carrying all the necessary equip-
ment and supplies for inflight monitoring and care. “There was an immense sense of purpose,” said Bjelke, recalling the immediacy of movement to be ready for the takeoff. “Our hospital has many highly skilled medics, but it’s not often we get to apply the critical skills we train to maintain for wartime or contingency operations. This mission was truly unique and a
significant departure from my usual day-to-day tasks.” Meanwhile at Duke Field, the 413th FLTS planners had to overcome the 15-mile distance separating the crew from their aircraft. The UH-1 Huey was at Eglin for a scheduled cleaning. The aircrew, maintenance team and flight equipment moved south during peak traffic hours, while the maintainers’ work schedule got extended to recover the helicopter after duty hours. Along with people and supplies, the helicopter’s flight plan and air logistics became a vital part for mission success. Maj. Josh Park, a 413th FLTS test pilot, calculated the necessary details like helipad landings, onboard and off board procedures for two hospitals, and the power requirements for a fully loaded helicopter on an approximately 250-mile trip. “Without his quick and accurate planning, we would not have taken off with enough fuel to transport the patient to Pensacola without having to stop along the way,” said Burges about his mission co-pilot. The air crew and medical team geared up and were in the air in less than two hours from the initial call. See Eglin, Page 7

cases, people they had not worked with before. They had to establish trust, communicate and determine how to accomplish the mission while fatigued and under pressure. The concept began in 2024, when Region 1 civil engineers conducted the first iteration of Patriot Forge at Fort Devens. That event served as a proof of concept for bringing multiple Prime BEEF units together for regional combat-focused training. The 157th Civil Engineer Squadron served as the lead organization, while participating wings contributed instructors, equipment, logistics and planning support. Army National Guard partners from Maine and New Hampshire also supported movement to and from the exercise with their UH-60 Black Hawks, adding another layer of joint integration.
By bringing multiple units together under a common standard, Region 1 is testing a model for a more interoperable engineering force before those airmen are called to deploy together. The exercise also reflected the Air Force’s broader push toward Mission Ready Airmen who can contribute beyond the boundaries of a single specialty. Patriot Forge II did not replace the technical expertise of civil engineers. It built the combat skills required to enable that expertise when conditions become uncertain. Patriot Forge II allowed New England’s Prime BEEF airmen to practice those skills together, make mistakes in training and build the confidence to operate when the next mission demands more than their primary specialty. Leaders, planners and cadre all agreed the result of Patriot Forge II was not a different kind of civil engineer but a betterprepared one.

KADENA AIR BASE, Japan — The 18th Wing conducted operational readiness exercise Beverly Beach 26-1 at Kadena Air Base, Japan, Aug 3-5, demonstrating the 18th Wing’s capacity to generate sorties, defend the base, respond to emergencies and sustain the force during contingency operations. Throughout the exercise, security, medical, logistics, rescue and support units validated Kadena’s place at the forefront of operational dexterity and regional security. “Our mission is deterrence through strength, exercises like Beverly Beach demonstrate what this Wing brings to the fight,” said Chief Master Sgt. Will Cupp, 18th Wing command chief. “Kadena is the hub of airpower in the Pacific, and this exercise has shown why we’re worthy of that title.” Throughout the week, members were tested on their skills by operating and communicating in contingent scenarios. The 18th Security Forces Squadron and 18th Civil Engineer Squadron responded to a variety of simulated emergencies around the installation, involving ground ammunition and downed drones. First responders were able to practice their critical response skills while also strengthening communication and interoperability between units. The 18th Medical Group responded to simulated casualties by implementing an En-

Route Patient Staging System, enabling the unit to rapidly receive, stabilize and prepare patients for aeromedical evacuation during contingency operations. This system allowed medical personnel to provide en-route care while coordinating casualty movements and evacuations. BB26-1 also enabled airmen to exercise agile combat employment skills. The 33rd Rescue Squadron was tasked to rapidly relocate to a simulated austere location and establish rescue operations without using traditional infrastructure. The scenario reinforced the squadron’s aptitude to rapidly reposition their capabilities and operate from dispersed locations during a contingency. Initiatives like ACE underscore the investment, interoperability, and access required to strengthen force posture. For the first time, personnel living off base were required to stay on
the installation for the duration of the exercise, keeping the mission going 24 hours a day. The 18th Force Support Squadron coordinated bed down locations, enabled troop transport and provided meals around the clock for shift personnel. These procedures keep forces ready to defend the United States, allied partners and their interests. F-22 Raptors assigned to the 27th and 90th Expeditionary Fighter Squadrons took to the skies to sustain constant airpower, sending a clear message of security throughout the Pacific. The 18th Logistics Readiness Squadron played an essential role in getting aircraft off the ground. 18th LRS fuel distribution operators conducted forward arming and refueling point operations, a process that allows aircraft to be refueled while the engines remain running, returning them to the fight faster. This operation requires dis-
ciplined teamwork and communication between aircrew, maintainers and fuel personnel, ensuring aircraft remain mission ready while maintaining strict safety standards. While executing exercise objectives, airmen simultaneously prepared the installation and its assets for Typhoon Dolphin, demonstrating Kadena’s capacity to maintain operational preparedness despite real-world environmental challenges. Members of the 718th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron worked both missions in tandem, ensuring no disruption in airpower while safeguarding vital assets. As a strategic position, Kadena stands at the forefront of an ever-changing security environment and must be able to operate through adverse conditions to deter regional aggression and continuously project U.S. airpower across the Indo-Pacific.

Master Sgt. Tyler Dickson, 512th Maintenance Squadron aircraft metals technology section chief, uses a Haas VF3SS vertical machining center to build a variable stator vane lever linkages rigging set gauge for a C-5M Super Galaxy aircraft at Dover Air Force Base, Del., Aug. 1.
Fix From Page 3 prototypes are being made with 7075 aluminum. “We have an abundance of it, and it’s not expensive,” said Dickson. “If after multiple uses, we start to see fatigue, we’ll switch to something more durable and expensive like stainless steel.” Bryant said he has been in contact with other professionals in the C-5M community, and they are eager to test out the gauge as well. He said if the
testing is successful, usage of the rigging set could be implemented into the technical orders maintainers use to work on the aircraft. Bryant added, the whole process has been fun for him; and, even with all his years of experience, he still gets a thrill from keeping aircraft in the air. “We don’t want to hold the rest of the aircraft up from getting back out there and tackling the mission, he said. “As much of a pain it is to run into a problem, what gets my blood pumping is being able to find a solution to something that is out of the ordinary.”

Beach From Page 6 “Exercise Beverly Beach was designed to put our training to the test, and every member of Team Kadena rose to the challenge,” said Brig. Gen. John Gallemore, 18th Wing commander. “Our airmen stand at the tip of the spear, and this exercise has shown that we remain disciplined, fit, and trained; we’ve demonstrated our enduring resilience, constant readiness and our dedication to defending this base and Japan.”
BB 26-1 reinforced the 18th Wing’s qualification to execute its mission under demanding conditions. Kadena is the largest U.S. installation in the Asia-Pacific region, and the airmen here play a crucial role in defending the U.S. and Japan by providing a forward power projection platform with integrated, deployable, combat power. The environment is ever-changing, but lessons learned throughout the exercise will continue to refine Kadena’s readiness to project airpower and respond to contingencies as the Keystone to the Pacific.

Eglin From Page 5 “These missions are frequently the most difficult. We don’t have much time to plan and make sure everything is accomplished,” added Burges, who also flew a critical care flight in 2025 involving a child. “Thankfully, our amazing team was able to divide and conquer. None of it could have happened without people immediately taking care of business without waiting to be tasked.” When the Air Force medics arrived at and entered Ascension Bay, the patient’s family was with him. “The family was incredibly relieved and appreciative to see the Air Force,” said Bjelke about his first live patient transport. “It seemed like we were their only hope.” With the patient on board, the medics took charge within the helicopter’s confined space. Miller and Gonzalez focused on the sedated patient’s assisted breathing and medical supplies while Bjelke monitored the IV pumps and monitors. “Our workspace was very limited, so each team member had a specific focus area,” said Bjelke. “It truly required close coordination and trust within the team.” The 130-mile trip to Pensacola went smoothly. With crew rest times approaching and fuel running short, the Eglin team couldn’t wait for Sacred Heart’s medics to
assist in the off-load. The airmen lifted the patient’s stretcher off the helicopter and carried him into the hospital’s emergency department. The security guard, who halted traffic for the helicopter’s landing, turned toward them and saluted the airmen as they passed. “It was a powerful moment of recognition and respect,” said Bjelke. The helicopter lifted off from Sacred Heart with only 10 minutes of fuel remaining. The team stopped at Pensacola airport to refuel for the trip home. With the patient delivered and in surgery, the aircrew and medics breathed a little easier as they organized their gear and stowed equipment on the relatively quiet helicopter trip back to Duke Field. “Flying the UH-1N on this life-saving mission was a profound privilege,” said Park. “For me, the true highlight was watching our 96th TW airmen, both civilian and military, come together at moment’s notice and uniting their specialized skills to help save a fellow American in need.” After this critical care mission, 96th Test Wing leadership had high praises for the airmen and their accomplishment. “The seamless collaboration between the 413th FLTS and 96th MDG was instrumental in saving this patient’s life,” said Col. Tara Lovell, 96th MDG commander. “Beyond providing a vital service to our local community, this mission validated our rapidresponse and readiness capabilities.”
