    Coalition Forces and Syrian Free Army Prepare for Air Assault Training at Al-Tanf Garrison

    Syrian Free Army soldiers and Coalition Forces assigned to the 10th Mountain Division, Task Force Armadillo wait with their chalk to load a CH-47 Chinook during cold and hot load air assault training at Al-Tanf Garrison, Syria, on Feb. 23, 2025. Hot loading involves rapidly loading personnel or cargo onto a running aircraft to ensure quick deployment, while cold loading is performed with the aircraft engines off, offering a safer, more controlled environment. Both techniques are crucial for efficient and secure air mobility operations in various mission scenarios. The Coalition is committed to advising, assisting, and enabling partner forces to defeat ISIS and maintain regional security and stability.
