U.S. soldiers from 2nd Battalion, 501st Aviation Regiment, 1st Armored Division Combat Aviation Brigade, secure a helicopter for sling-load during a notional Downed Aircraft Recovery Team (DART) simulation at exercise Saber Junction 25, Sept. 11, 2025, at Joint Multinational Readiness Center's (JMRC) Hohenfels Training Area, Germany. Training on DART ensures aviation units can rapidly respond to downed aircraft incidents, which are highly likely in combat. Practicing recovery under stress, including sling-loads, security, and movement, builds confidence and competence in real-world scenarios. Evaluated by 7th Army Training Command, JMRC, this multinational event brings together more than 7,000 participants and 1,000 vehicles from 15 nations. The exercise ensures U.S., Allied and Partner forces remain ready to act decisively in response to emerging threats, crises or opportunities. (U.S. Army National Guard Photo by 2nd Lt.
