You hit a home run with that assignment! Airborne, Air Assault, Ranger school, etc. Work your butt off and see how many schools you get put in for! BTW, Congrats on making it through 15P training. Stay in the Army, get your stripes and do all your schools. USAjobs has tons of jobs for you post Army at the $83K level. I was blown away. Regards, Uncle Mark

You're going to the flight company that belongs to 4th RTBn. They're based on the airfield at Fort Benning. The unit provides support for Airborne School, Pathfinder, Air Assualt, Ranger School, and Sniper School. It's a non-deployable unit. I don't know much about the company as they were only apart of 4th for a short period before I retired. Look for someone on here who is currently in the flight company and connect with them. Take advantage of being in 4th RTBN, prob your only shot at going to Ranger School and Airborne School.

I am going to step out on a limb here and say this assignment is probably in the Brigade HQ operations(S3). Why would 4th RTB have a flight company? The 507th (Airborne School) is a subordinate of the brigade.

When 507th was added to the Bde, the flight company was added to 4th as well. Part of Ft Benning TRADOC restructuring.

I am not sure of 4th RTB having any attached aviation but I do know that 5th RTB does. In the mountains of GA there is a small base there that supports itself. They have an aviation asset for real world injuries. I don't recall if 6th RTB does. I am more curious if they are sending you to 4th RTB to inprocess you and then send you to 5th RTB. At 5th RTB they really don't have much there. You would have to to go to Airborne Ranger Training Brigade to inprocess.

I have attached a picture of Camp Merrill where you could see their aviation asset. It is a small bird they only use for Air Evac.

PFC (Join to see) - Maybe each has their own Air Medevac element. I just didn't think they would have one seeing how Fort Benning also has one.
