G-4 leads deployment logistics training for Soldiers, Airmen and Sailors
Nine Virginia Guard Soldiers and one D.C. Guard Soldier, two Airmen from the Camp Pendleton-based 203rd RED HORSE Squadron and nine U.S. Coast Guard Sailors train to conduct railhead operations Sept. 18, 2014, at Fort Pickett, Va., during the Unit Movement Officer Course. The weeklong course welcomed 20 service members and aimed to prepare them for the challenges of moving massive amounts of equipment for deployment or large-scale training events. The course, taught by the Virginia Army National Guard's Fort Pickett-based Directorate of Logistics at the 183rd Regiment, Regional Training Institute, runs Sept. 15-20, 2014. Virginia Aviators briefed capabilities of the UH-72A Lakota helicopter.
The UH-72 is a twin engine platform with a single four-bladed main rotor and was designed as a light utility helicopter for the U.S. Army and the Army National Guard. It is a militarized version of the Airbus Helicopter, formerly Eurocopter, EC145 which is primarily used for emergency medical services, search and rescue operations and disaster management.
The UH-72 will significantly increase the Oklahoma Army National Guard’s ability to conduct emergency support missions. Its primary missions will include homeland security, disaster-response, fire fighting command and control, search and rescue and medical evacuation. (Photo by Capt. Andrew J.
