News: Multinational soldiers conduct aerial rapid response training
Kosovo Force (KFOR)
Story by Sgt. Cody Barber
Sgt. Cody Barber
Three UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, carrying 33 Armenian crowd riot control troops, lift off from Camp Bondsteel during an aerial rapid response exercise, March 12. The troops are flying to Camp Novo Selo, which is their primary location to respond to a civil disturbance.
CAMP BONDSTEEL, Kosovo – When a civil disturbance happens in Kosovo, soldiers have to be ready to react within a moment’s notice and Multinational Battle Group-East troops train to do just that.
Armenian crowd riot control troops and soldiers from 2nd Battalion, 285th Aviation Regiment, North Dakota National Guard, conducted aerial rapid response training on Camp Bondsteel, March 12.
The training was part of a weeklong process to give both U.S. and Armenian soldiers the skills necessary to quickly and safely load and unload from UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters.
“We will initially start out with cold load training which means the rotors aren’t turning,” said U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 Sheldon Atwood, a pilot with 2-285th. “We will do that a couple of times under cold load and then the next time will be a hot load, where the rotors will be turning. The guys will then load on and we will take them on a flight.”
Atwood expressed that having the training and knowledge is instrumental to being able to react quickly in case that a real-world event occurs.
“If they are comfortable with getting on and off the aircraft, that really makes things easier when it comes to real-world mission,” said Atwood. “You don’t want to be doing the training at that time.”
Armenian army platoon leader Capt. Avetisyan Slavik said that the training was very important for his troops.
“Much of my troops have never been on a helicopter,” said Slavik. “We would like to make sure that everybody feels good about (flying on a helicopter) and will not be afraid in the future.”
The training was not only beneficial for the Armenian troops but for the U.S. troops as well, said Atwood.
“The pilots were trained on multinational operations because there is a lot of planning and coordination that goes into it,” added Atwood. “The crew chiefs get trained on how to deal with passengers and insuring the safety of the passengers while loading and unloading them.”
Atwood explained that doing the training with multinational counterparts is a great opportunity.
“We enjoy it and I think they enjoy it,” said Atwood. “It’s something different seeing the way that they train and how they operate so I think it’s a win-win for everybody.”
The training concluded at Camp Novo Selo, which is the primary area of responsibility for the Armenian CRC troops during civil disturbances.

Peace a cake, they are going to have so much fun.Originally posted by burjuin View Post
The most important things to remember is that you never approach a running helicopter from behind (tail rotor) and approach from the sides keeping your head down (even though the rotors turn way above your head) and remember its going to be windy. Make sure you have ear plugs on for hearing protection and once in your seat know how to strap yourself in properly and get your headset hooked up and adjusted for sound (intercom) to be in communication with the crew. Some people can get nauseated when not used to flying so have a barf bag just in case.
Dismounting is just the opposite, wait for the pilots call before unstrapping and exiting the chopper again only from the sides.avoid the back and the front exiting from the chopper.
In flight emergencies can be covered in two sections
1- bent over and kiss your ass goodbye.......assume crash position.
2- Donn life vests if going down over water.
BlackHawks are awesome to fly in especially with the doors open.....They should get night training as well.B0zkurt HunterComment

July 1993 Chicago Tribune article about the war
"While Armenia remains committed to victory, even at the cost of horrendous deprivation in everyday life, Baku seems strangely detached."

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
Why would a bunch of teens and twentysomethings leave a modern city on the Caspian to go fight for a predominantly rural/peasant region of little economic significance? There were certainly some nationalists and among them a few who were truly committed (and romanticizing the peasantry and Karabagh specifically was definitely a thing in national arts, culture, and literature, so there was certainly sentimental attachment) but there were no Monte Melkonians. It's probably a reason why their government has put so much effort into the demonization of all things to do with Armenia(ns): it's a way to galvanize the postwar generation (who have even less of a connection to or memory of the region).Comment
