MEDEVAC SHIFT - UH-60L MOD [COOP 1-2] v1.02

It's time for your shift as a MEDEVAC pilot for the US Army 412th Medical Group. Up to two UH-60L Blackhawks can be up at a time to accomplish the MEDEVAC requests (9 Liners). You will be escorted by two AH-64 Apache aircraft.

For a total of 10 fully voiced missions given in a random order,  this mission touches on the realism of a MEDEVAC pilots receiving the 9 Liner requests from the TOC, and urgently locating and transporting the casualty to a medical center. Sometimes the enemy will be present on location, your escorts will assist but you need to choose the correct avenues of approach.
