Marsha Blackburn Report: This Week From Washington – October 13th, 2019
October 13, 2019 | 
Washington, D.C. – I’ve had quite the week catching up with folks in fourteen different counties, all across our great state. Traveling hundreds of miles has allowed me to connect with Tennesseans and hear what’s on their minds.
My fellow Tennesseans have made one thing crystal clear: they are sick and tired of the partisan charades going on in Washington. It was refreshing to hear from local leaders about the real issues our communities are facing, as opposed to the latest outrage overtaking Washington.
Senator Marsha Blackburn.

160th SOAR adds heavy assault aerial platform to Jackal Stone 2011
Written by Kimberly Tiscione
160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment Public Affairs
MK Base, Romania – When special operations forces need to move a large component to a target by air, they often look to the heavy assault Chinook helicopter to do the job.
The U.S. Army’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) brought this capability to Exercise Jackal Stone 2011 with two MH-47G Chinook helicopters and crews. SOAR’s expertise is getting special operations forces to a target, under any environmental and combat conditions, plus or minus 30 seconds from when the ground force commander needs to be there.
“It was a great tactical and cultural learning opportunity for all involved,” said the senior 160th leader on-site. “For most of us, it was our first time training with these partner nations and even the specific U.S. forces involved, and it was mostly their first time working from one of our highly modified helicopters.” «Read the rest of this article»
