    Ancient Ascent | National Guard aviators from Utah and Nevada take on mission of prehistoric proportions

    Crew chiefs assigned to 2-211th Aviation Regiment guide the pilots of a UH-60 Black Hawk to properly attach an encased dinosaur fossil during an airlift in southern Utah, June 13, 2026. The Utah National Guard trains on aerial hoist missions to maintain the proficiency needed to operate in areas inaccessible by traditional means. This capability supports search and rescue and disaster response efforts, while also enabling Innovative Readiness Training (IRT) missions that provide essential services to communities and strengthen military readiness. Regular training ensures aircrews and ground personnel remain ready whenever they are called upon. (Utah National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Alejandro Lucero)
