On February 11, 2022, a National Guard helicopter spotted a person lying on the ground and waving, appearing to be in distress, in the Baboquivari Mountains of Arizona.
At approximately 7:45 p.m. an AMO UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter air crew based out of Tucson responded to rescue the undocumented migrant.
An AMO Multi-role Enforcement Aircraft crew was also on patrol in the area and was able to track the individual in the austere mountainous terrain using a FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared) camera.
The AMO Black Hawk air crew determined that landing was not possible due to the terrain and nighttime conditions. The air crew performed an 80-foot hoist to assess and rescue the individual.
The migrant was transported to the U.S. Border Patrol facility near San Miguel, Arizona to determine if further medical attention was necessary.
