This week’s Beast Heroes are CW2 Kyle Buckley, CW2 Daniel Buckles, and SPC Ricardo Ochoa!
When a 1-501st AH-64D/E performed a precautionary landing in the Division Training Area they rapidly responded by performing an air movement of personnel and equipment.
Due to their actions the aircraft was assessed sooner rather than later.
