NAVAL AIR STATION FALLON, Nev. (March 31, 2021) Naval Aircrewman (Helicopter) 2nd Class Joshua Harrison, assigned to the �Black Knights� of Helicopter Sea Combat (HSC) Squadron 4, calculates the "power mantra", aircraft maximum weight to Hover Over Ground Effect (HOGE), compared to what the aircraft weighs, based off of altitude and temperature during a Naval Aviation Warfighting Development Center (NAWDC) hosted high-altitude training course. Air Wing Fallon is part of the pre-deployment training cycle for Navy's carrier air wings. HSC-4, along with VFA-2, VFA-192, VFA-113, VFA-147, VAQ-136, VAW-113, and HSM-78 comprise CVW-2 and are detached to NAS Fallon in order to sharpen their warfighting readiness through a rigorous 5-week curriculum. The training conducted during Air Wing Fallon drives air wing integration and ensures that all CVW-2 squadrons are ready to conduct the full range of military operations when they deploy later this year. HSC 4 provides vertical lift search and rescue, logistics, anti-surface warfare, special operations forces support, and combat search and rescue capabilities.
