Paramus, N.J., native U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Mitchell Bethke, medic and platoon sergeant with the 3rd Forward Support Medevac Team, Company C, 3rd Battalion, 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade, prepares to collect a fuel sample from a UH-60M Black Hawk helicopter as part of a pre-flight inspection Oct. 27 at the helicopter pad on FOB Shank. The morning of their shift, 3rd FSMT soldiers conduct a thorough inspection of the helicopter and their equipment, stock medical supplies and stage their gear on the aircraft. “During checks, we look at our medical equipment and make sure it’s ready to go. We make sure the quantities are stocked and secured in the back, check the surge breakers, clean windows and take fuel samples,” Bethke said. “I check the color and clarity and make sure the sample is free of sediment and water.” (U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
