This year, two groups were selected for the Captain William J. Kossler Award. One was the Oklahoma Army National Guard Detachment 1, Company B, 2-149th General Support Aviation Battalion, 2-45 Aviation Regiment, for its support of Louisiana state-of-emergency relief efforts during the Category 4 Hurricane Ida in September 2021. Representing the Chinook unit were CAPT Martin Howell, Chief Warrant Officer 3 Zechariah Smith and SGT Nathan Lowber.
