Virginia Army National Guard aircrews recognized for Hurricane Helene rescues
National Guard Bureau
April 24, 2025 | 1:06
Virginia Army National Guard aviators and Chesterfield County Fire and Emergency Medical Service rescue technicians rescued multiple individuals from floodwaters in Virginia brought on by Hurricane Helene in October 2024. The aviators and rescue technicians, who make up the Virginia Helicopter Aquatic Rescue Team, were recognized for their efforts and awarded the Virginia National Guard Bronze Star medal. VA-HART trains quarterly to ensure readiness for both elements to respond to flooding and other emergencies. This marked the first major real-world rescues the team has made since the partnership began in 2011. (Video courtesy of Chesterfield Fire and EMS, edited by Staff Sgt. Amber Peck)
