Laquitta Cowley, natives of St. Petersburg, Fla. and Decatur, Ala., respectively, both assigned to Company A, 172nd Support Battalion, 172nd Infantry Brigade, Task Force Blackhawk, wait while a Chinook prepares to take off nearby for a sling load operation Oct. 5, at Forward Operating Base Sharana. Tunis, Cowley and the soldiers at the helicopter landing zone conduct these types of missions frequently. The HLZ is a 24/7 operation and the soldiers must be proficient in their jobs while maintaining the highest levels of safety.
