A TESTAMENT OF TEAMWORK- Come meet and speak with Aircrew and Infantryman involved in the Yankee 26 mission and Operation Mountain Resolve. Present will be Pilot CW4 (Ret) Larry Murphy, Flight Engineer MSG James Duggan and Infantryman Kollin Berg. All directly participated in the Operation that resulted in the mission where a photo was taken of a U.S. Army Boeing CH-47 Chinook Transport Helicopter performing a rooftop landing in the remote mountain region of Northeastern Afghanistan to extract and relocate detained personnel. In November, 2003 during Operation Mountain Resolve, the crew of Yankee 26 from G Co., 104th Aviation Regiment, a combined unit from both the PA and CT Army National Guard, was providing resupply and support operations to infantry elements of the 10th Mountain Division. This challenging rear wheel landing onto a tenuous “mud hut” rooftop taken by an imbedded Combat Cameraman, was accomplished in severe, rugged steep mountain terrain in very low light conditions under threat of enemy fire has become an iconic image from that conflict..
The presentation will include discussions from both the aircrew and ground party soldier’s perspectives, detailing the events of Operation Mountain Resolve leading up the mission. We are delighted to share their stories which highlights the importance of teamwork during military operations contributing to overall mission success.
Dress Code: Business Attire – No Jeans or sneakers please
