GRAFENWOEHR, Germany — Soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 214th Aviation Regiment (General Support Aviation Battalion), 12th Combat Aviation Brigade, conducted UH-60V Blackhawk and CH-47F Chinook gunnery tables at the Grafenwoehr Training Area, Germany during exercise Lethal Cougar in a weeks-long training event beginning early March 2025.
This training maximized readiness by incorporating crew-served and small arms weapons qualifications as well as vehicle and flight training.
“Grafenwoehr is one of the only places that we can use to train all our battalion mission essential tasks, so it’s important to converge here so we can drive, fly and maintain in the field and prepare for all the contingency missions the European theater might ask us to accomplish,” said U.S. Army Maj. Jordan Terry, operations officer for 1st Bn. 214th Aviation Regt.
