Armstrong and his fellow infantrymen, including Spc. Parker Hernandez and Spc.

The assault helicopter battalion is deployed to the Middle East to provide U.S. Army aviation capabilities to Task Force Spartan, which exists to increase military readiness and capability, in order to maintain regional stability and expand regional partnerships.
