A Wisconsin Army National Guard UH-60 Black Hawk aircrew with the Madison, Wis.-based 1st Battalion, 147th Aviation Regiment trains to drop water on wildfires April 13, 2026, using a Bambi bucket at Fort McCoy, Wis. During the training, crews used Bambi buckets suspended beneath their helicopters to dip water from Big Sandy Lake before delivering it to simulated fire targets. The training emphasized precision flying, crew coordination, and rapid water delivery—key skills required during wildfire response missions. (US. Army Photo by Scott T.
