In April, Camp Guernsey hosted several agencies, including the Laramie Fire Department and the Bureau of Land Management at an annual training exercise. A crew from G Company, 2nd Battalion, 211th Aviation provided a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter, while fire trucks from Guernsey Fire Department and Laramie County, as well of the Bureau of Land Management took part in setting controlled fires as targets for dumping water drawn from Guernsey Reservoir. These agencies combine efforts to recertify their skills in Wildland Firefighting on Camp Guernsey's North Range, April 19, 2019, during the bucket drop exercise.
