    U.S. Army Spc. Trevor Wuebben, a cavalry scout for the Wisconsin National Guard’s Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 127th Infantry Regiment, pulls security on a desert berm during an exercise on Udairi Range, Kuwait, on May 29th, 2019. Wuebben and his fellow infantrymen are completing final training events in preparation for their deployment to Afghanistan. As part of the training, Soldiers took part in an air assault movement supported by the Kentucky National Guard’s B. Company, 2nd (Assault Helicopter) Battalion, 147th Aviation Regiment. Air assault is the movement of ground forces by vertical lift aircraft to infiltrate, seize and hold key terrain, often behind enemy lines. The assault helicopter battalion is deployed to the Middle East to provide U.S. Army aviation capacity to Task Force Spartan, which exists to increase military readiness and capability, in order to maintain regional stability and expand regional partnerships.
