Back in May, SPC Risedor was promoted to SGT. Please join us to congratulate him.

Throughout his time with ECO, SGT Risedorf has been a cornerstone of our weapons operations—most notably as our rockstar armorer, ensuring the success of our crew-served weapons ranges and maintaining the readiness of critical equipment. His dedication, technical expertise, and quiet professionalism have been instrumental to the success of our training events and the overall effectiveness of ECO.

This promotion reflects not only his outstanding performance, but the trust and confidence we place in him as a leader and subject matter expert.

This year’s Colorado Fire Aviation Summit (COFAS) was a success!🔥

A, B, and C Co have been approved by the Forrest Service to fight fires and 3 - 140th approved for Air Attack for the next two seasons! This is the first time we have received validation for two years.

We trained over 50 aircrew members from 3 EMAC partner states as well as HAATS.
We also trained with the Forest Service, Colorado Department of Fire Prevention and Control (CDFPC), as well as over 20 Wildland Fire Agencies.

Over 60 ground personnel were trained for aviation response on wild fires, as well as helicopter coordinators in the air.

We had a rotation of rotary and fixed wing air attack platforms, single engine air tankers, and a complex/evolving scenario.

We had approximately 10 aircrew members on the ground with the fire fighters to get a new perspective, better understand the ground teams' needs, and help answer questions they have with aviation.

15Ps were in the field to run operations and help manifest flights for external agencies on and off each aircraft at 2 locations.

COARNG will be prepared to fight fires this year!
