Personnel from the Fort Bragg Aviation Logistics Management Division pull out a blade from the belly of a CH-47 Chinook helicopter at the Port of Wilmington, Oct. 1. More than 30 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade helicopters are being reassembled at the Port of Wilmington to fly back to Fort Bragg after arriving from Afghanistan, Sept. 27. An integral part of the 82nd CAB’s success, the aircraft, including AH-64 Apache, CH-47 Chinook and UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, belong to the brigade’s fleet of helicopters that were flown in eastern Afghanistan during the brigade’s year-long deployment in support of Operation Enduring Freedom from Sept. 2011 – Sept. 2012. ALMD personnel came to the port from Fort Bragg to ensure the helicopters, which had to be partially disassembled to fit in the ship coming across the Atlantic Ocean, are in good condition before 82nd CAB pilots fly them back to Simmons Army Airfield.
