Podcasts about combat aviation brigade

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the seventy-seventh episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by the CSM Erik Burris, the Task Force Senior Enlisted Observer-Coach-Trainer for TF Aviation on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guest is COL Nicholas Ploetz, Commander of the 4th Combat Aviation Brigade of the 4th Infantry Division.   The 4th Combat Aviation Brigade (4th CAB) of the 4th Infantry Division (4th ID) has a storied history that reflects its commitment to supporting ground forces and adapting to evolving combat demands. First activated as the 4th Aviation Company, 4th Infantry Division, at Fort Lewis, Washington on 1 April 1957. They were relocated to Fort Hood (now Ft. Cavazos), Texas in 1995, the 4th CAB rapidly established itself as a formidable aviation force within the division, providing critical air support and mobility. They were later relocated to Ft. Carson, Colorado in 2011. Over its deployments to Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, the brigade demonstrated resilience and tactical versatility, embodying the 4th ID's legacy of “Steadfast and Loyal.” Their ethos is embedded in the brigade's dedication to mission support, whether through reconnaissance, assault, or medevac capabilities, earning it a respected place within the U.S. Army's aviation and combat support structure. They have the Hollywood call-sign of “Iron Eagle,” the nickname of “Ivy Eagles,” and the brigade's motto of “Vigilantia Aeterna” or “Eternal Vigilance.”   In this episode we discuss best practices for effective planning and employment of a combat aviation brigade during large scale combat operations. In LSCO, two core principles emerge as essential for the CAB: standardization in operations and clarity in staff roles and responsibilities. First, standardizing critical elements such as FARPs (Forward Arming and Refueling Points), logistics, and sustainment processes across the CAB enables rapid, adaptable responses to evolving battle conditions. For example, a standardized FARP setup ensures that refueling and resupply can occur with minimal disruption, allowing aviation assets to remain in the fight without delays. This standardization enhances synchronization between the CAB and other units, like the various brigades within the DIV it supports, ensuring timely, mutually reinforcing actions. By embedding standardized protocols, planners can build in contingencies that maintain mission continuity, even when the order or operational environment shifts unexpectedly.   Equally important is cultivating a proficient and well-coordinated staff structure. Clear roles and responsibilities within the CAB's staff, supported by a rigorous adhered standard operating procedures, are crucial for effective planning and swift decision-making under pressure. Regular military decision-making process repetitions, as observed in training rotations, allow staff members to refine their roles, improving their readiness to tackle complex, high-tempo operations. When staff roles are well-defined and thoroughly rehearsed, the CAB can execute plans more efficiently, maintaining the flexibility needed for fast-paced combat demands. This clarity in structure not only ensures internal cohesion but also strengthens the CAB's ability to synchronize with division-level goals and respond to DIV support needs effectively.   Together, these practices enable the CAB to operate as a cohesive, agile force that can adapt to and shape the battlefield. Through disciplined standardization and clear, well-rehearsed staff coordination, the CAB is better equipped to deliver sustained support, anticipate operational needs, and reinforce the broader mission objectives in large-scale combat scenarios.   Part of S08 “The Aviator's Corner” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

As we continue to highlight our partners in the Veterans Service Alliance, a group of non-profit organizations coming together to make a global impact in the fight against veteran suicide, we're shining the spotlight on Engage Your Destiny, led by CEO Ben Peterson.  Ben spent 8 years in the Army, deploying to Iraq during the surge in 2008. His time in a Combat Aviation Brigade was challenged by fellow soldiers killed in action, suicide, and tragic civilian casualties. After battling post traumatic stress, alcohol dependency and family issues, Ben turned to his faith, community, counseling and recreation to recover from the traumatic experiences of combat. The power of Ben's story is his ability to bring authenticity and honesty while breaking down the of core principles of resiliency.  In the beginning of 2016 he felt the call to start a mission to help veterans and their families heal from their experiences. This call led to the fulfillment of a vision Ben had to bring honor, hope and healing to Vietnam Veterans, as 35,000 people gathered at the Daytona International Speedway in May of 2022 for the Heroes Honor Festival. 10,000 Vietnam Veterans were welcomed home, 1,200 enrolled in PTSD programs, and hundreds more found healing.

Brian Worthington was born in New York and raised in Woodside, Queens. He discovered very early on his love for flying. However, he never thought to become a pilot was possible due to a lack of accessibility, resources, and not seeing black pilots. Brian worked as an aircraft service technician at JFK Airport following High School in 1997 just to be amidst airplanes. Only one year later he enrolled himself in the airframe and powerplant aviation maintenance program at The College of Aeronautics and Technology. In 1999, Brian decided to join the United States Army. During his active years in service, he served as a Paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division, assigned to the 325th Combat Infantry Parachute insertion fighting force. In 2003 Brian joined the New York Army National Guard and was assigned to the 42nd Combat Aviation Brigade where he served as a UH60 Blackhawk Helicopter Door Gunner/Crew Chief. During his eight years of military service, Brian has deployed for combat and peacekeeping missions throughout Europe, the Middle East, and Central America. Never losing sight of his passion for flying, in 2003 Brian began taking flight lessons which resulted in him earning his Private Pilot certificate. Through continuous training, he later earned his Commercial Airplane Pilot Certificate. Brian's dedication to serving his country landed him a job with the New York City Police Department as a Police Officer in 2004, where shortly thereafter in 2007 he earned an honorable discharge from the Military. In 2014 Brian co-founded the NY Metro Chapter of the Black Pilots of America, Inc. He is currently in his second term as the Chapter President. The organization provides training and exposure within the field of aviation. In 2016 Brian founded Flight King NYC LLC, a small business that provides flight training, affordable aircraft rentals, and flight tours around New York City. Due to his hard work, dedication to his community, and extensive experience in aviation, Brian was elected to sit on the JFK Redevelopment Advisory Council with a seat on the education committee. After fourteen years of service as a Police Officer patrolling the streets of New York, in 2018 Brian was accepted into the NYPD Aviation Unit. Now assigned to the unit, he serves as one of New York's Finest Elite Helicopter Pilots.
