The first UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters belonging to the Tennessee Army National Guard touched down on April 17, 2015 at Joint Base Berry Field in Nashville, Tenn. The helicopters are part of the 1/230th Air Cavalry Squadron currently headquartered at the Army Aviation Support Facility in Smyrna, Tenn.
Berry Field has been the home of the Tennessee Air National Guard's 118th Wing for more than 90 years. After losing their C-130 Hercules aircraft due to the 2005 Base Closure and Realignment Commission, the Wing has successfully completed the transition of becoming a dominant force in intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and support missions.
The Tennessee National Guard began planning for this transition more than five years ago, brought about by the need to replace the World War II era hangers and facilities utilized by the 1/230th ACS in their previous location. The move, to what is now known as Joint Base Berry Field, will continue through the remainder of May 2015.
