Lt. Col. Hise Gibson (left), commander, 3rd General Aviation Support Battalion, 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade, congratulates Chief Warrant Officer 3 (ret.) Joseph Abshier after presenting him with the Broken Wing award during a ceremony on Fort Bragg, N.C., Feb. 16, 2017. The award recognizes an individual who demonstrates a high degree of professional skill while recovering from an in-flight failure or malfunction requiring an emergency landing. Abshier earned the award as a result for safely landing his CH-47 Chinook helicopter after a dual-engine failure during a deployment in Afghanistan, September 2014. His actions preserved the crash-worthiness of the aircraft and ensured survival of the occupants. (U.S. Army photo by Capt. Adan Cazarez)
