The Army National Guard gives members the opportunity to serve their community, state and nation while pursuing their civilian careers. Idaho Army National Guard Soldiers conducted a flight mission recently on April 28, 2022. Seven of the 10 crew members part-time Soldiers, including the lead helicopter.
Aside from serving their country, 1st Lt. Colton Ankeney is a small business owner making custom camping vans and 1st Lt. Lucas Glauser is a civil engineer. Ankeney joined the Idaho Army National Guard in 2015 so that he could serve in the military without having to leave Idaho. Glauser wanted to become an Army aviator after watching helicopters fight fire near his childhood home, which he got to do himself last summer.
