An Oklahoma National Guard flight crew out of the Army Aviation Support Facility #2 in Tulsa, Oklahoma assisted in a joint training paradrop event out of Ft. Chaffee, Arkansas, Jan. 22, 2025. The six members of the flight crew carried Air Commandos from the Air Force Special Operations Command to altitude in a UH-60 Black Hawk, where they conducted both static-line and free-fall jumps. These types of joint training exercises are vital in ensuring all branches can operate seamlessly in real-world missions, from combat operations to humanitarian relief.
