WASHINGTON, — – Aircraft Refuel Specialist (SPC) Ricky Wolley refuels an UH-72. The UH-72A Lakota is a light utility helicopter with a twin-engine and a single, four-bladed main rotor. The 121st Medical Company (Air Ambulance) is a Virginia National Guard air crew, comprised of both pilots and maintainers. Based at DAA (Davison AAF, Fort Belvoir VA), DC-NG’s 121st Medical Company (Air Ambulance) was the first National Guard unit to receive the medevac-configured version of the UH72A. The 121st Medical Company (Air Ambulance) is tasked with providing National Guard medevac support to the National Capital Region to include Presidential Inauguration support. The Lakota helicopter is outfitted with a new Mission Equipment Package that has capabilities to uniquely support law enforcement, search and rescue and provide secure communications. The 57th Presidential Inauguration was held in Washington on Monday, January 21, 2013. The Inauguration included the Presidential Swearing-in Ceremony, Inaugural Address, Inaugural Parade and numerous inaugural balls and galas honoring the elected President of the United States. During the 10-day inaugural period approximately 6,000 National Guard personnel from over 30 states and territories worked for Joint Task Force-District of Columbia, providing traffic control, crowd management, transportation, communication, medical and logistical support as well as marching in the Inaugural Parade. More than 13,000 Active Duty, National Guard and Reserve military members were involved in the inauguration. Since 1789, the Armed Forces have participated in this important American tradition honoring our Commander in Chief. The parade is organized by the Joint Task Force-National Capital Region, and participants are selected by the Presidential Inaugural Committee. (Official Air Force photo by Technical Sgt.
