MONTGOMERY — 26 U.S. Navy MH-60R Seahawks and approximately 200 personnel from Naval Station Mayport and Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida, relocated to Maxwell Air Force Base in preparation for Hurricane Milton, which on Wednesday made landfall on Florida.
The aircraft and personnel will remain at Maxwell AFB until it is safe to return to Florida.
The move was made to protect the aircraft and personnel from the potential impacts of Hurricane Milton, and to ensure they can quickly return to their home base and resume operations once the storm has passed.
While at Maxwell, military officials said the aircraft will continue to maintain their readiness to respond to emergent situations that may arise.
