An aircrew with the Minnesota National Guard’s 2nd Battalion, 147th Aviation Regiment, headquartered in Saint Paul, operates a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter July 29, 2024, at Fort McCoy, Wis. Members of Black Hawk units regularly complete training operations at Fort McCoy, and they also support numerous training events at the installation each year. According to the Army fact sheet for the Black Hawk, its mission is to provide air assault, general support, aeromedical evacuation, command and control, and special operations support to combat, stability, and support operations. The UH-60 also is the Army’s utility tactical transport helicopter. The versatile helicopter has enhanced the overall mobility of the Army due to dramatic improvements in troop capacity and cargo lift capability over the years as well. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T.
