BROLL: An Oklahoma National Guard flight crew out of the Army Aviation Support Facility #2 assisted in a joint training paradrop event out of Ft. Chaffee, Arkansas, Jan. 22, 2025.
The six members of the flight crew carried the Air Force special operations trainees to altitude in a UH-60 Black Hawk, where they conducted both static-line and free-fall jumps.
These types of joint training exercises are vital in ensuring all branches can operate seamlessly in real-world missions, from combat operations to humanitarian relief.
“It helps a lot for us to go out and conduct missions and then we can go anywhere in the world, really and conduct those missions,” said Chief Warrant Officer 4 William Shufeldt, AASF #2 standardization pilot.
