On the weekend of 04-06 February 2022, Idaho’s Gowen Field (on the south side of Boise Airport) was attacked.  Idaho’s A-10Cs responded with ‘combat turn’ air strike missions, while Air Guard medics responded to the cries of the wounded.

Idaho Air National Guard 124th Medical Group’s Critical Care Air Transport Team (CCATT) called in the Idaho Army National Guard’s Detachment 1, G Company, 1-168th Aviation Regiment, to fly out the wounded on their UH-60 Black Hawks.

This was all part of an intense weekend warrior training scenario on Gowen Field, to prep for future deployments: “The significance of this training is huge because it gives us an opportunity to train with the Army before being in a deployed environment.”-Senior Master Sergeant Virginia Holmgren, 124th CCATT

The training was continued at the Orchard Combat Training Center (OCTC), to simulate medevac ops from a Forward Operating Base (FOB).
