Aviators conduct hoist training with Chesterfield first responders
Virginia Army National Guard UH-72 helicopter air crews based in Sandston conduct live hoist training with Chesterfield Fire & EMS Scuba Rescue Team personnel May 15, 2013, at the Chesterfield County Public Safety Training Center in Chester, Va. The training was designed to enhance the emergency response capability of each organization in support of the commonwealth's ability to react to and support emergency management operations. After receiving approval from National Guard Bureau, Virginia Army National Guard aviators plan to conduct multiple emergency management training events with local first responders over the next 12 months. This training will provide a greater understanding of Guard capabilities and further enhance interoperability between the commonwealth's emergency management partners.
