U.S. Soldiers assigned to the 354th Medical Logistics Company, 341st Medical Battalion, 176th Medical Brigade hook a cargo load to a UH-60 Black Hawk assigned to the 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division during a sling load exercise at the U.S. Army Medical Materiel Center-Korea, Camp Carroll, South Korea, Mar. 12, 2026. During Operation Freedom Shield 2026, Soldiers must be vigilant about potential hazards to maintain safety, such as equipment failure due to improper rigging, static electricity discharge, load shifting during flight and adverse weather conditions. This joint defensive exercise is conducted annually by the Republic of Korea (ROK) and the United States under the ROK–U.S. Alliance; the exercise strengthens combined readiness, enhances operational command and control, and ensures both nations remain prepared to respond to any threat on the Korean Peninsula.(U.S. Army National Guard photo by Spc.
