High-Altitude Mountain Environmental Training Strategy (HAMETS) Degraded Visual Environment (DVE) Training
10th Combat Aviation Brigade
April 19, 2019 | 2:00
There is more to the High Altitude Mountainous Environmental Training Strategy (HAMETS) than just flying amongst mountain peaks. With the change of scenery from Fort Drum, NY, to Fort Bliss, TX, come many new challenges; especially the sand and dust that is kicked up by the strong winds our helicopters produce from their rotor blades.

As they prepare to land, a dust cloud will envelope the aircraft, making it impossible to see the ground. Our Aviators are here learning how to tackle this issue by trusting their instruments and relying on the training they receive here.

Not only does the dust obscure our Aviators line of sight, it also damages the aircraft, and Task Force Knighthawk (2-10 Assault Helicopter Battalion with elements from 3-10 General Support Aviation Battalion, 1-10 Attack Reconnaissance Battalion and 277th Aviation Support Battalion) has learned to adapt to these problems. By learning to manage effective maintenance routines, our 10th Combat Aviation Brigade Soldiers can keep our aircraft running mission after mission, increasing our readiness and lethality.

About Moody Bridge Chat

Bridge Chat's purpose is to create cohesive, high-performing teams that foster trust and connection through flexible and consistent small group discussions; in direct response to overwhelming feedback from the CSAF 21's Resilience Tactical Pause.

Caring for our Wingmen is what defines us as Airmen, so we must work to get to know our teammates and the challenges they face. We all have the same responsibility of creating the workplace we want and supporting the people we share our lives with.

Bridge Chat topics are posted here monthly to encourage small group discussions within teams. Beginning the process of recurring discussions can be difficult, but will become easier with time and reinforce the Flying Tiger culture.

To help us initiate and facilitate these discussions, we have included a guide that defines roles and ground rules.

The Flying Tiger Bridge Chat Facilitator provides facilitator trainings for base personnel. Their goal is to create squadron facilitators who take action on ACC's goal of equipping, engaging and empowering Airmen with resilience tools and create high-performing teams who look out for each other. To schedule training, contact 229-257-3211.
