    Military personnel from at least two different nations are gathered around a dark military helicopter, likely a UH-60 Black Hawk, on a tarmac or airfield. One soldier in US Army multicam uniform appears to be instructing or assisting soldiers wearing German Bundeswehr flecktarn (desert pattern) camouflage uniforms. The activity appears to involve rigging or inspecting equipment near the helicopter's landing gear, possibly a training or familiarization exercise.

    U.S. Army Sgt. Jorge Vasquez, a medic with Company C, 1st General Support Aviation Battalion, 111th Aviation Regiment, teaches German soldiers how to properly secure themselves to a rescue seat attached to the hoist of an HH-60M Black Hawk helicopter during medevac and hoist training near Erbil, Iraq, Aug. 20, 2016. This training was provided to German, Dutch and Finnish soldiers in order to familiarize Coalition partners with U.S. Army medevac procedures and equipment. The 111th is currently deployed in support of Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve. (U.S. Army Photo by Staff Sgt. Peter J. Berardi)
