This UH-60A was prepared for transport to CONUS at Camp Buehring. This helicopter was once built and delivered to the US Army as UH-60A in 2000. The Black Hawk was converted to UH-60L after it suffered Class B damage on 17 August 2004 when a fence was struck while taxying at Easton (MD). At the time this picture was made, the Black Hawk was assigned to the 1-111th Avn Reg/77th CAB. The latter was deployed to support Operation Inherent Resolve , the fight against terrorism in Iraq and Syria. Camp Buehring in Kuwait is used for maintenance of the helicopters as well as rest and R&R for the crew.
