On May 10, the Idaho Army National Guard received a request for support to assist with the rescue of two mountaineers stranded on top of an avalanche near Mount Borah. One member of the party had suffered a leg injury. A 1-183rd Aviation Battalion crew responded in an HH-60M Black Hawk helicopter and hoisted the injured hiker to safety. He was subsequently transferred to a civilian ambulance for further transport and care. The other member of the party elected to stay on the mountain and self extract. This is the third successful search and rescue mission conducted by Idaho Army National Guard Soldiers in 2026. #idahonationalguard #alwaysreadyalwaysthere
