SIMMONS ARMY AIRFIELD, NC — A U.S. Army pilot with the 82nd Airborne Division’s 3rd General Support Aviation Battalion prepares for flight aboard a CH-47 Chinook aircraft prior to a recent exercise on Dec 3, 2025. During the exercise, pilots performed simulated combat maneuvers while Civil Affairs soldiers conducted critical medical care and evacuation procedures mid-flight as well as infiltration/exfiltration at a landing zone. Training scenarios like this enhance readiness and lethality, enabling Civil Affairs to maneuver in competition, react swiftly in crisis, and win in conflict. (U.S. Army photo by Spc. Brandon M.
