Chief Warrant Officer 5 Robert Shober of Fayetteville, N.C., receives an Army Commendation medal from 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade commander Col. T.J. Jamison and Command Sgt. Maj. Larry Farmer April 21. Shober was one of two CH-47D Chinook pilots who airlifted a crashed Chinook from a remote mountain site in eastern Afghanistan. He, his co-pilot, and the downed aircraft recovery team saved the Army millions of dollars by developing a plan to save the helicopter instead of having it destroyed where it lay.
