Mentoring

Mentoring is a relationship in which knowledge and skills are shared between members in a way in which everyone benefits. Often a more senior person is mentoring a junior person, but mentorship can happen between any two individuals. Mentoring will help Airmen and Guardians discover their strengths by achieving their full potential through a structured, trusting mentoring relationship.

As the Hawaii Army National Guards Company B, 1st Battalion, 171st Aviation Regiment prepared for an upcoming deployment, it was time to break-down the CH-47 helicopters that have assigned to the unit for the past four years. The helicopters were flown into a commercial shipping port in Honolulu Hawaii, where they were partially disassembled in preparation for shipment to the continental United States. The helicopters will be reassigned to other Army National Guard aviation units in the states who are returning from deployment. The Bravo 171 Aviation Regiment was assisted in the process by their sister unit the Bravo triple 7 Aviation Support Battalion, who utilized a portion of their annual training to support this large iron move.

Once the cargo heavy lift aircraft where readied for shipment the Soldiers carefully loaded them on a commercial shipping vessel in a choreographed operation focusing on safety of man and equipment.

This type of asset reallocation is a cost saving measure by the National Guard Bureau where the deploying units fall in on equipment already in the deployed location. It also insures the helicopters assigned it Guard units in the states are properly maintained. (U.S. National Guard Video by Tech. Sgt. Andrew Jackson) More
