VNG Soldiers, Airmen collaborate on incident assessment

Virginia National Guard Airmen assigned to 192nd Intelligence Squadron, 192nd Wing based at Langley Air Force Base review high resolution video of critical infrastructure locations in the Hampton Roads area in order to conduct incident awareness and assessment after Hurricane Dorian Sept. 7, 2019, in Chesterfield, Virginia. VNG Soldiers assigned to the Chesterfield-based Detachment 1, Company A, 2nd Battalion, 151st Aviation Regiment flew a UH-72 Lakota helicopter to capture the video, then handed it off to the Airmen for analysis. Key locations for the video capture were designated by the Virginia Department of Emergency Management, then provided to the aviators. The imagery will be used to establish baseline assessment to be used in future severe weather incidents.
