They were assigned to Company C, 2-211th General Support Aviation Battalion based in St. Cloud. Their unit had just returned from a nine-month deployment in the Middle East, where they conducted medical evacuations in support of Operation Spartan Shield and Operation Inherent Resolve.
On Thursday, the three guardsmen were doing a routine maintenance flight out of the St. Cloud airport. Shortly after takeoff, the pilots initiated a mayday call and contact was lost with the aircraft. About two hours later, first responders found the downed helicopter on a farm near Kimball. All three on board were killed.

I'm not sure if it is better they died on their home soil or if it is even more tragic they came home just to die. RIP boys.

These helicopters kill too many soldiers.
