Westover unit hones skills during Patriot Hook exercise
The 439th Contingency Response Flight, from Westover Air Reserve Base, recently participated in the annual Patriot Hook exercise, at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., April 10 through 15. This particular air mobility exercise focused on the ability to rapidly deploy troops and cargo in the event of a humanitarian crisis. Simulating a joint-environment and mutual aid agreements, the 439th CRF worked alongside various federal and local organizations to include local law enforcement, the Army, Coast Guard, FBI and other Air Mobility and Air Force Reserve Command units.
