During their Annual Training, troops from the Texas State Guard (State Defense Force) received training on the UH-60L Medieval Black Hawk helicopters. The orientation focused on the operations and procedures of extracting casualties out of the helicopters.
One of the missions the Texas State Guard maybe called on during a state emergency would be to assist the National Guard in the extraction of casualties from helicopters, and tend to the wounded in health care facilities. The Texas State Guard has trained on such missions in the past so they can be ready when called.
