A U.S. Army South Dakota National Guard flight medic adjusts her equipment during hoist training with 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) Green Berets on Fort Meade, South Dakota, Sept. 20, 2025. The hoist is essential in battlefield evacuations, enabling helicopters to deliver aid or extract patients without needing to touch down. Green Berets from 10th SFG(A) conducted a two-week training with South Dakota National Guardsmen, covering essential warrior tasks like tactical combat casualty care, land navigation, marksmanship, mission planning, and hoist training.
