A joint trainer between the 437th Operations Group and the 160th SOAR was set up by Tech. Sgt.

The off-station trainer kicked off at Hunter Army Airfield where load masters from the 437 OG and the 160th SOAR conducted static helicopter winching of the Black Hawk. Two helicopters were available to practice multiple load plans and tie-downs on a C-17. They landed at Joint Base Charleston airbase were the helos were offloaded and then assembled. Halcomb and Rogers are from the 15th Airlift Squadron. Five student load master from Joint Base Charleston were able to direct a loading event and members from the 160th SOAR helicopter crews were certified for airlift. They have to practice a loading event as well as the collapse and assembly of a helicopter in a simulated combat environment.
