U.S. Air Force and Alaska Army National Guard conduct joint muni
An Alaska Army National Guard CH-47 Chinook assigned to the 1st Battalion, 207th Aviation Regiment, participates in joint sling-load operations with U.S. Air Force Airmen from the 3rd Munitions Squadron at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Sept. 16, 2024. This was the first time munitions Airmen have sling-loaded munitions in a tactical configuration, and the proof-of-concept exercise - the brainchild of Air Force Staff Sgts. Riley Curry and Dyson Clement - is expected to pay dividends in resupply flexibility in remote locations. The Soldiers provided oversight and training prior to the exercise (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Julia Lebens)
