    Paratroopers with 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment (Airborne) got to test CH-47 Chinook capabilities by sling loading their newest vehicle the Army Ground Mobility Vehicle (AGMV). This testing helped their leadership to better understand how they will be able to move the vehicles, max weight and future employment measures. It wasn't just sling loading; they also loaded an AGMV inside the aircraft; as well as, sling loading another vehicle to see what the limitations for employment look like at Grafenwoehr Training Area August 16, 2019.

A CH-47 Chinook helicopter is visible in the background, suggesting a sling-load or air assault operation is being prepared or has just concluded. Chains are visible on the vehicle, consistent with rigging for helicopter transport.
