Oregon Army National Guard Soldiers, with 1st Battalion, 168th Aviation Regiment, load two Bambi Buckets onto their CH-47 Chinook F-Model aircraft on the morning of August 5, 2017, at the Army Aviation Support Facility in Salem, Oregon, to support the Whitewater Fire burning in the Mount Jefferson Wilderness Area. Oregon Governor Kate Brown's state of emergency order on August 2, 2017, allowed the Oregon National Guard to deploy as requested, to support the Oregon Department of Forestry's firefighting efforts. The Soldiers, based in Pendleton, Oregon, last supported firefighting efforts in 2015 in Southern Oregon, before deploying to the Middle East for a year-long deployment. (Photo by Capt.
