Nebraska National Guard prairie hay drop
Nebraska Army National Guard Soldiers used a CH-47 Chinook helicopter with Company B, 2-135th General Support Aviation Battalion, to secure multiple bales of hay, March 20, 2019, and airdrop them to cattle isolated by historic flooding across the state. The Nebraska National Guard has been supporting the ongoing response in Eastern Nebraska following massive flooding on the state’s river systems which began March 13, 2019, and has caused catastrophic damage to the state’s infrastructure, agriculture and personal property.
