5th Battalion, 159th Aviation Regiment
Four U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers from A Company, 5-159th Aviation Battalion, carry a Soldier acting wounded on a gurney after being transported for a mass casualty exercise conducted on Jan. 11, 2025, at MacDill Air Force, Florida. This exercise was designed to prepare the unit for future conflicts that would produce a higher casualty rate those enduring during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. By simulating long range transportation of casualties from the battlefield to medical aid stations located hundreds of miles away, the Soldiers received hands on experience in executing long term flight operations.
