<p>A Nebraska Army National Guard UH-72 Lakota helicopter from Company A, 1-367th Aviation (Security &amp; Support) Regiment was tasked with another survey mission in northern Florida, Sept. 14, to evaluate river levels and damage along the Santa Fe and Ichetucknee rivers, while ensuring flooded areas were free of stranded civilians. While conducting reconnaissance, the air crew did notice multiple civilians in the area and ensured their well-being through friendly waves with “thumbs-up” approvals on their safety. While there were some areas that did indicate increased water levels, the area was deemed clear of any civilians in distress. The crew of the UH-72 Lakota helicopter included four or approximately 100 Nebraska Amy National Guard Soldiers currently serving on State Active Duty out of Jacksonville, Florida, in support of Hurricane Irma relief and recovery operations..
