Gov. Scott Walker and senior Wisconsin National Guard leaders joined families and friends at a formal sendoff ceremony Feb. 2 for approximately 60 Soldiers from the Madison, Wis.-based 1st Battalion, 147th Aviation, who will deploy to Kuwait. There they will provide UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter airlift assets and maintenance support personnel to their area of operations, and also move troops and VIPs throughout the region.
Extensive deployment training has included aircraft maintenance, refueling, aerial gunnery, flight medic and hoist operations, and operating the UH-60 in various environments and conditions.
