Summary
An on-post firefighter participates in a training exercise May 29, 2020, at Camp Bondsteel, Kosovo. Camp Bondsteel’s on-post fire department and Kosovo Force Regional-Command East’s Task Force Aviation, who are organic to the Colorado Army National Guard’s 2nd General Support Aviation Battalion, 135th Aviation Regiment, conducted a joint exercise where firefighters evacuated crew members from a notional UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter crash. The exercise is one of many held throughout the year to ensure RC-E troops and support personnel remain trained and ready to respond to any situation that may endanger RC-E troops. RC-E is a command element within the NATO-led KFOR mission that is charged with ensuring the safety and security and freedom of movement for all the people in Kosovo.
