The HH-60W’s capability improvements brought to the 355th Wing, an Air Combat Command designated lead wing, help ensure a more lethal, agile, and resilient team that is prepared for the next fight.
“As we look towards our pacing challenge, Davis-Monthan must be ready to answer the call for rescue in any environ- ment, and we’ll make that happen with the Jolly Green II,” said US. Air Force Col. Scott Mills, 355th Wing commander. “Rescue is more than a motto; it is a promise to every Soldier, Sailor, Marine, Airman and Guardian that if you are ever isolated from friendlies, no amount of threat or distance will stop us from bringing you home. The Jolly Green II will help us keep that promise to our joint and coalition partners.”
