Staff Sgt. Jeffery Smithwick, of Camp Pendleton-based Troop C, 2nd Squadron, 183rd Cavalry Regiment, 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, Virginia Army National Guard, and observer-coach/trainers of First Army East prepare to board a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter for a night air assault exercise June 12, 2015, in Fort Drum, N.Y. The air assault, flown by crews of Fort Drum’s 10th Combat Aviation Brigade, launched the beginning of a five-day squadron field training exercise during the 116th IBCT’s Multi-echelon Integrated Brigade Training exercise. The MIBT was overseen by First Army East, a division responsible for training Reserve and National Guard troops ahead of their ready year. The troop integrated engineers from Fredericksburg-based 116th Brigade Special Troops Battalion and joint terminal attack controllers from the 118th Air Support Operations Squadron, North Carolina Air National Guard based in Albermale, N.C. UH-60 Black Hawk crews from Fort Drum’s 10th Combat Aviation Brigade provided air support for the exercise. For full video go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ohZQdwDJZA.
