    U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to 59th Aviation Troop Command (59th ATC), South Carolina Army National Guard and volunteers of Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) conduct the annual Upstate “Boss Lift” day at the South Carolina National Guard Army Aviation Support Facility (AASF1), Eastover, South Carolina, August 12, 2026. This type of event offers all civilian employers of South Carolina guardsmen the opportunity to experience for a day various aspects of a citizen-soldiers’ life; 59th ATC aircrews and maintenance personnel showcased the capabilities of their aircraft and equipment, including CH-47F Chinook and UH-60L helicopters, night vision goggles, and aircrew survivability gear. During the event, employers and ESGR personnel were taken for a local, familiarization flight. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Tim Andrews)

    Two individuals are silhouetted against an intense green light environment, likely illuminated by laser or specialized lighting. One person on the left appears to be holding a small device emitting green light, while the person on the right wears a baseball cap. The scene has a low-visibility, atmospheric quality consistent with a training exercise, nightclub, or tactical environment.

    A military helicopter, identifiable as a UH-60 Black Hawk, is shown on a tarmac or flight line with its rotor blades in motion. A soldier in full combat gear including a flight helmet and OCP (Operational Camouflage Pattern) uniform stands beside the open side door of the aircraft. A second personnel member is partially visible near the rear of the helicopter.
    The image shows a pair of military night vision goggles (NVGs) labeled 'TYPE 8' resting on a dark surface. The dual-tube optical device features multi-coated lenses with visible teal and pink light reflections, along with small red and green indicator LEDs. Military camouflage gear (ACU/UCP pattern) is visible in the background.
    A large group of military personnel and civilians pose for a formal group photo inside a military helicopter hangar. They are holding a blue ESGR (Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve) banner, indicating this is an official ESGR event. Two military helicopters (appearing to be Apache attack helicopters) are visible in the background, along with an American flag and a South Carolina state flag.
