86 AES and U.S. Army conduct Operation Guardian Wings 2024

U.S. Air Force service members assigned to the 86th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron are guided onto a USAF C-130J Super Hercules during Operation Guardian Wings at Ramstein Air Base, Germany, Oct. 23, 2024. During the training the 86th AES performed a direct transfer of a simulated patient from a U.S. Army HH-60M Blackhawk, assigned to the 2nd Battalion 2-227 Aviation Regiment to a C-130J. This maneuver demonstrated the interoperability of Army and Air Force assets, reducing the time it takes to move patients from the battlefield to higher echelons of care.
