DAVIS-MONTHAN AIR FORCE BASE, Ariz. - -- Three U.S. Navy HH-60H Seahawk helicopters will temporarily train here starting Oct. 11. The HH-60H airframe is similar to the HH-60G Pave Hawk, which is stationed here.

The HH-60Hs are coming from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 85 out of Naval Air Station North Island, San Diego, Calif.

The HH-60H crews will be participating in joint training with A-10 Thunderbolt squadrons and Combat Search and Rescue units here. The training scenarios will take place in southern Arizona's many military training ranges and will give the units a chance to test their skills and strengthen joint operations between the military services. The HH-60Hs are slated to train here until Oct 30.
