Bambi Buckets Drop It Where It's Hot
Arkansas National Guard Public Affairs Office

The Arkansas National Guard and the Arkansas Forestry Division conducted Bambi Bucket training during a controlled burn scenario, September 20-21, 2022. The exercise gave Soldiers with the 77th Theater Aviation Brigade an opportunity to target an active fire as directed by fire fighters on the ground.

Staff Sgt. Kourtney Murray, 77th Theater Aviation Brigade Helicopter Repairer, explains how the opportunity to train with the Arkansas Forestry Division and drop water on fire prepares them for real world missions both at home and where our nation needs them.
