Episode Details

Rhode Island’s National Guard is set to unveil a $46 million Army Aviation Readiness Center at Quonset Point, designed to house the 1st Battalion, 126th Aviation Regiment—the elite crew flying UH-60 Black Hawks who’ve served in Iraq and Kuwait. The 77,000-square-foot facility will consolidate 300 soldiers currently split between two aging sites, offering modern amenities like upgraded locker rooms, maintenance bays, and classrooms. Built to replace outdated 1940s structures, the center marks a major investment in readiness and safety, championed by Senator Jack Reed. This project stands apart from the nearby Air National Guard headquarters, spotlighting Rhode Island’s commitment to equipping its citizen soldiers for mission success and safe returns home.
