    Chief Warrant Officer 2 Aaron Huffman, property book officer, 77th Theater Aviation Brigade, and supply non-commissioned officers Staff Sgt. Justin Bryant and Sgt. Joseph McConnell look over sensitive items and unit property items that would be removed from the helicopter when the UH-60 Lima is lateral transferred by National Guard Bureau.

    The 77th TAB is currently in the process of replacing its UH-60 Lima Black Hawk helicopters with the UH-60 Mike Black Hawk helicopters.

    Sgt. Rebecca Powell, UH-60 helicopter repairer, conducts a
    preventive maintenance daily, similar to the preventive maintenance checks and services (PMCS) a Soldier would conduct on a truck, the inspection ensures that the aircraft is air worthy for its next flight.

    Arkansas Army National Guard lowered its excess inventory of “go to war equipment” from 1542 items to 38 items within the first quarter of fiscal year 2023. Within a fiscal quarter, Arkansas moved millions of dollars worth of Humvee’s and Helicopters back from a high of 6 percent to 0.06 percent which is below the National Guard Bureau’s goal of 0.5 percent in excess items.

    This rapid disbursement of excess equipment over the previous year represents a value of more than $50,000,000 that was redistributed back into the Arkansas Army National Guard and the DoD supply chain. It is a battle of logistics and accounting that Soldiers and civilians in the supply and the property book offices across the Guard have to fight every day.
