    Two M240s are mounted inside an HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter Nov. 22, 2022, at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona. The 943d Rescue Group designed a concept to mount four additional M240 machine guns onto HH-60G helicopters to provide more firepower to the 920th Rescue Wing’s personnel recovery task force in contested environments.
