Big Congratulations is in order for CPL Quintero, and SPC Vargas on their completion of Air Assault.
Army Air Assault refers to military operations using helicopters to rapidly move troops and equipment (like infantry, artillery, and supplies) to seize key terrain, often behind enemy lines, and the intensive training soldiers undergo to perform these missions, including rappelling, sling-loading, and aircraft safety, culminating in the coveted Air Assault Badge. It's a vital part of modern warfare, bridging gaps between airborne (light/fast) and heavy mechanized forces by leveraging speed and terrain independence.
Great work gentlemen! Now get home safely and enjoy the warm weather Michigan is offering right now.
