UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters from the Idaho Army National Guard's 1-183rd Assault Helicopter Battalion conducted joint sling load training with Soldiers from the 17th Field Artillery Brigade from Joint Base Lewis-McChord Monday at the Orchard Combat Training Center in Idaho. The exercise enhanced interoperability and readiness by refining aerial transport operations in a tactical environment. The Orchard Combat Training Center is a premier joint combined arms training site. Its world class ranges and four-season climate make the 173,000-acre training center an ideal location to prepare Brigade Combat Teams and other units for combat in a tough and realistic training environment. #idahonationalguard #armynationalguard #nationalguard
