The 169th Airlift Squadron hosted a field day event on Thursday, July 20th as part of the
2023 Enlisted Leadership Workshop at Volk Field Air National Guard Base.
Personnel attending the event were transported by UH-60 Blackhawks by the
Wisconsin ARNG to Young Tactical Landing Site at Fort McCoy Wis from Volk Field.
Once the site has been secured, C-130's from the 182nd Airlift Wing, Peoria Illinois Air National Guard performed assault landings at Young Tactical Landing Site. This served as good exposure to C-130 operations for personnel on the ground, as well as facilitate lead upgrade training for Peoria pilots who may need dirt strip/LZ approaches and landings.
