摘要

On March 13th,2020,the US Army needed immediate solutions to the emerging COVID-19 pandemic. A key capability that proved vital to the air movement of key leaders, essential personnel and vital equipment was the US Army Reserve (USAR) Fixed Wing Battalions. With a reach across the entire continental United States, two USAR Theater Aviation Battalions, equipped with both C-12U/V and UC-35A/B aircraft, provided vital capacity to move medical teams, senior leaders, and first responders with point-to-point air movement. The exceptionally capable fixed wing command teams, combined with their professional aircrews and staff, worked tirelessly to execute this critical mission with a positive impact felt throughout the Army and the Department of Defense. To date, both USAR Theater Aviation Battalions have flown 800+ missions and 4,500+ flight hours, to enable movement of 2,200+ passengers, in direct response to the COVID-19 requirements.
