JOINT RESCUE TRAINING: The Idaho National Guard continuously trains to be #alwaysready and #alwaysthere for overseas missions and deployments but also at its homeland for domestic operations like search and rescues. The Idaho Army National Guard’s State Aviation Group conducted hoist rescue training last week with the Boise Fire Department’s Swiftwater/Dive Rescue Team, utilizing our UH-60 Black Hawk and UH-72 Lakota helicopters and hoist experts. 

Together, the Boise Fire Department and the Idaho National Guard have aided in several real world rescues and the Idaho National Guard has responded to assist state agencies in approximately 11 rescues this year alone and one just this past weekend. 

Joint training is practiced with the fire department twice a year and last week focused on rescuing from a moving vehicle to simulate hoisting from swift water like flooding.
