Tech. Sgt. Nicholas Poe, 459th Airlift Squadron special missions aviator, communicates with his crewmembers during a search and rescue training mission at Combined Arms Training Center Camp Fuji, Japan, June 4, 2019. During the training, members of the 459th AS performed hoist training with night vision goggles. The special mission aviator acts as the rescue hoist operator and is in charge of the cabin compartment by securing people and cargo; he routinely runs each checklist so the pilot can focus full attention on the aircraft.
