GFLR 20-01 kicks off with unique training

A UH-60 black hawk from Camp Robinson, Arkansas, executes a sling load operation as part of a Green Flag Little Rock 21-01 at Little Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas, Oct. 19, 2020. The sling load training exercise was the first in Air Mobility Command history to involve a Polaris MRZR ATV. Previously, this type of training had been conducted with a HMVEE and this new training will help contingency response teams react faster with lighter gear.
