Deployment of an Assault Helicopter Battalion

Abstract

The 151 Battalion 131st Aviation Regiment mobilized and deployed in support of (ISO) OIF 06-08 as a member of the 36th Combat Aviation Brigade (CAB). The battalion mission was to provide aviation support to Multi National Corp Iraq. I was assigned as the battalion Command Sergeant Major. This was the first time an entire National Guard CAB had ever been assembled. Many unique challenges would face our organization in the coming months. Many of these challenges included personnel, equipment, and training.
