An aircrew operates a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter on the cantonment area during training operations Aug. 4, 2020, at Fort McCoy, Wis. The helicopter was part of training support operations for the Wisconsin National Guard and belongs to the 1st Battalion, 147th Aviation Regiment, also with the Wisconsin National Guard. 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.
