Hello , I'm 00:08.570 --> 00:11.280 specialist joseph Norton . Not all army 00:11.280 --> 00:13.391 missions receive the same attention . 00:13.391 --> 00:15.910 Some even go unnoticed altogether . But 00:15.910 --> 00:18.140 army sergeant frank Merola tells us of 00:18.140 --> 00:20.290 one recent humanitarian aid mission . 00:20.300 --> 00:24.030 Iraqis will not soon forget . Soldiers 00:24.030 --> 00:25.974 from Task Force Baghdad are in the 00:25.974 --> 00:27.974 village of Agar Goof and Abu Ghraib 00:27.974 --> 00:29.808 province Iraq to secure the area 00:29.808 --> 00:32.030 they're making sure it's safe . So army 00:32.030 --> 00:34.252 doctors and Civil Affairs personnel can 00:34.252 --> 00:36.308 come in and provide humanitarian aid 00:36.308 --> 00:38.280 after it's been cleared . An 00:38.280 --> 00:40.169 announcement is made inviting the 00:40.169 --> 00:42.113 villagers to a nearby school where 00:42.113 --> 00:44.058 medics are waiting .

A medic from 00:45.947 --> 00:48.002 Woodbridge , New Jersey is the first 00:48.002 --> 00:50.002 face the villagers see he takes the 00:50.002 --> 00:52.058 vital signs before they're seen by a 00:52.058 --> 00:54.169 doctor . Makes you feel good though , 00:54.169 --> 00:56.391 that people come out and they're trying 00:56.391 --> 00:58.447 to seek help . You know , they can't 00:58.447 --> 01:00.613 get it elsewhere after their checkup , 01:00.613 --> 01:02.780 the villagers get prescriptions how to 01:02.780 --> 01:05.002 makeshift pharmacy before leaving . The 01:05.002 --> 01:07.058 locals can pick up a few necessities 01:07.058 --> 01:07.010 that have been donated from the U . S . 01:07.010 --> 01:09.177 Like clothes and shoes . Major dust of 01:09.177 --> 01:11.121 its Walters . A civil affairs team 01:11.121 --> 01:13.343 leader from Atlanta Georgia says it's a 01:13.343 --> 01:15.343 pleasure to do missions like this . 01:15.343 --> 01:17.566 It's amazing reactions you see from the 01:17.566 --> 01:20.040 kids when you give them a pair of shoes 01:20.040 --> 01:23.290 or even just a box of . It's a real 01:23.290 --> 01:25.401 good feeling just to see the reaction 01:25.401 --> 01:27.568 from the kids . Most of the soldiers . 01:27.568 --> 01:29.679 I've spoken to say missions like this 01:29.679 --> 01:31.568 are extremely gratifying and it's 01:31.568 --> 01:33.790 unfortunate that they go unnoticed back 01:33.790 --> 01:35.679 home . Hopefully we can get their 01:35.679 --> 01:37.846 attention and realize that there are a 01:37.846 --> 01:37.320 lot of good things that we are doing 01:37.320 --> 01:39.431 here .

Crew coordination plays a 02:56.500 --> 02:58.722 big part whenever you're flying because 02:58.722 --> 03:00.833 everybody has to know what's going on 03:00.833 --> 03:03.830 at all times . So in order for me to go 03:03.830 --> 03:06.052 hot on the weapon , both my pilots have 03:06.052 --> 03:08.052 to know , okay , he's ready to go . 03:08.052 --> 03:10.163 He's loaded all that stuff so that as 03:10.163 --> 03:12.386 long as you're talking clearly it's all 03:12.386 --> 03:16.310 good . The Black Hawk goes airborne 03:16.310 --> 03:18.421 and begins a short flight towards the 03:18.421 --> 03:20.421 target area .

These 03:48.800 --> 03:50.790 aviators conduct crew coordination 03:50.790 --> 03:53.012 training approximately every six months 03:53.012 --> 03:55.123 while they're at Fort Hood .
