Coalition Forces assigned to the 10th Mountain Division, Task Force Armadillo, and Syrian Free Army (SFA) soldiers participated in cold and hot load air assault training at Al-Tanf Garrison, Syria. The training involved UH-60 Black Hawk and CH-47 Chinook helicopters, where personnel learned the crucial techniques of rapidly loading personnel and cargo onto running aircraft (hot loading) and safely loading with engines off (cold loading). These techniques are vital for ensuring quick and secure air mobility operations in various mission scenarios. The exercise underscores the Coalition's commitment to advising, assisting, and enabling partner forces in the fight against ISIS and maintaining regional security and stability.
