Sgt. James Gale, a crew chief with Golf Company, 1st Battalion, 189th Aviation Regiment, Oregon Army National Guard, secures a simulated patient to the floor of an HH-60M Black Hawk using the SK-1189-V litter strap at McNary Field Army National Guard Heliport in Salem, Oregon, Dec. 5, 2025. The Oregon-designed strap accommodates two Black Hawk floor configurations and centers the Cobra buckle over the patient, reducing securing and release time during medical evacuations.
