 The 920th rescue wing has completed field testing a concept to remove a mounted M240 Delta model machine gun from an H860G Pave Hawk helicopter for rapid ground deployment. On September 19th the 943rd Security Forces Squadron field tested the M240 Delta model on a M192 tripod mount. The tripod mount is compact, collapsible, and has a quick mounting and dismounting system. The previous option was to use a conversion kit that took two minutes to set up and two minutes to reconfigure. In 2022, the 943rd rescue group developed a concept in which two M240 Delta model machine guns could be mounted on one yoke and one set at each door of the H860G Pave Hawk. Increasing the firepower by up to four additional mounted weapons. This is a first for Air Force Rescue. The entire concept for mounting and rapid ground deployment was created by several squadrons including the 305th Rescue Squadron, 306th Rescue Squadron, 943rd Maintenance Squadron, and 943rd Security Forces Squadron. For the 920th Rescue Wing, I'm Andre Trinidad.
