The Air Force’s newest rescue helicopter performed its first save on a deployment late last month when it rescued two people in the area of operations overseen by the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa, which includes several east African countries such as Djibouti, Somalia, and Ethiopia. Though a press release about the rescue did not give specifics about the date, the location, or whether the lives saved were U.S. military members, the service emphasized that the new aircraft and the highly-trained airmen aboard kept the wounded alive until they could reach more advanced medical care.
