Your Ride’s Here.

(U.S. Air Force photo by Alejandro Peña)

Well here’s a switch. The pilot in the picture are Army and the folks on the ground are Air Force.

This photo, taken November 18, 2020, shows an Alaska Army National Guard UH-60L Black Hawk helicopter landing to pick up Air Force special warfare Airmen, assigned to the 3rd Air Support Operations Squadron, during small unit training at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska.

Conducted under physical and mental stress conditions (what other kind do special operators operate in?) the small unit training reinforces fundamental combat skills and fosters team cohesion, according to the Air Force.
