Maj. Gen. Don Dunbar, Wisconsin's adjutant general, addresses the families and friends of deploying Soldiers from the Wisconsin Army National Guard’s 1st Battalion, 147th Aviation Regiment during a sendoff ceremony April 22 in Madison, Wis. The Soldiers from three different companies in the battalion — Headquarters, Delta and Echo — will head to Fort Hood, Texas to complete mobilization training before deploying to the Middle East in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. The Black Hawk helicopter unit is expected to provide troop movement, medevac escort and VIP escort. This marks the third aviation unit deployment for the Wisconsin Army National Guard this year. In February, members of the 147th Aviation companies A and D mobilized for a deployment to Kuwait, while members of the West Bend, Wis.-based Company C, 1st Battalion, 168th Aviation mobilized for a deployment to Afghanistan.
