    An aircrew flies a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter over South Post during training operations Aug. 2, 2020, at Fort McCoy, Wis.

    According to the Army fact sheet for the Black Hawk, its mission is to provide air assault, general support, aeromedical evacuation, command and control, and special operations support to combat, stability, and support operations.

    The UH-60 also is the Army’s utility tactical transport helicopter.

    The versatile helicopter has enhanced the overall mobility of the Army due to dramatic improvements in troop capacity and cargo lift capability over the years as well.

    Located in the heart of the upper Midwest, Fort McCoy is the only U.S. Army installation in Wisconsin.

    The installation has provided support and facilities for the field and classroom training of more than 100,000 military personnel from all services each year since 1984.
