    ANSBACH, Germany—U.S. Soldiers with Hotel Company, 1st Battalion, 214th Aviation Regiment, 12th Combat Aviation Brigade, "Big Windy," conduct aft wheel pinnacle landing training in a CH-47F helicopter, June 28, 2016, at the Oberdachstetten Local Training Area (LTA). A pinnacle landing is used to delivery troops and equipment to a very precise location such as a building roof. Confined area operations are very difficult maneuvers and require a lot of practice to master. Luckily, the Oberdachstetten LTA is just one of the many LTAs operated by the Training Support Activity Europe to provide both U.S. Army Europe and partner-nation troops with the ability to perform rigorous, realistic and relevant home-station training that enhances their combat readiness.
