Kentucky Guard MEDEVAC officer leads critical NATO partnership in Bosnia
SARAJEVO, Bosnia and Herzegovina – For U.S. Army 1st Lt. Dustin Haubner, a recent deployment to Bosnia was about more than moving aircraft and patients.

If there was one leverage device that we used it was the Army general support aviation battalion. In my judgment, for the number of soldiers involved, and the price involved, the biggest leverage we got out of the very few numbers of helicopters, the tiny number of helicopters, that we devoted to support logistics, and command and control in general: the Signal battalion commander, the Maneuver Brigade commanders, the DISCOM commander, and the Division...
