Sgt. David Brocato (left), crew chief, Company C, 3rd Battalion, 4th Aviation Regiment, Combat Avn. Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, Multi-National Division - Baghdad, and counterpart Spc. Daniel Simonson, mount a M240B Machine Gun to the gunner's position of their Black Hawk helicopter before the start of a night mission on Camp Taji, July 20. Crew chiefs' responsibilities range from in-flight instructor to performing critical fixes on the aircraft during missions. Also considered the 'eyes of the aircraft,' they are required to help pilots maneuver the helicopter in and out of tight areas as well as watch for threats from the sky. Most of their missions last about six hours. Brocato is a native of Kentwood, La.
