Today, we had the honor of flying with GEN Daniel Hokanson around Fort Bragg and XVIII Airborne Corps in the Army's most advanced attack helicopter, the AH-64E Apache Guardian. GEN Hokanson currently serves as the 29th chief of The National Guard and is a rated Master Army Aviator with more than 2600 hours.

Before his flight with CW4 Bill McKenna, GEN Hokanson took some time to recognize PFC Colby Russell, PFC Daniel Crawford, and CW4 Jeff Spahn for their exceptional work to support our mission. SPC Joseph Gonzalez was also recognized and was the crew chief for the flight.

Base Wide Food Drive!!!

Pegasus team!! We need your help! Starting next week, we will be collecting Canned and Non-Perishable food items to support our surrounding communities. Your donations will support Cumberland (Second Harvest Food Bank), Harnett (Five N Two Food Pantry) and Moore (Food Bank Sandhills Branch) county food banks.

COVID-19 has negatively impacted many families throughout the community. This food drive can help those families get through this difficult season.
This is a great way to kick off the holiday season by helping those in need and to be thankful for our blessings leading up to Thanksgiving.

The Brigade is challenging each of our Battalions to raise the highest number of items donated. Anyone outside our unit looking to donate, please send us a message here on FaceBook.
