    3rd AHB trains on Bambi Buckets

    FORT CARSON, Colo. -- A UH-60 Black Hawk aircrew with Company C, 3rd Assault Helicopter Battalion, 4th Aviation Regiment, 4th Combat Aviation Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, prepare to land April 8, 2019. 3rd AHB is supporting the firefighting mission, alongside the fire department, on post from April through December this year, with two UH-60 Black Hawk aircrews every week. “Bambi Buckets are used when the installation commander calls for it… to be stood up and come forward to fly and support a firefighting mission,” said Deputy Chief Mitch L. Van Dyke, Fort Carson Fire and Emergency Services. “When we know (a fire is) in a remote or hard to access area, aircrews can provide strategic coverage for us to further knockdown (a fire)."
