Advance Team Update
The advance team returned from Ukraine on April 23rd having completed the transitioning of responsibilities to class 1 who were deployed to Ukraine on March 21st. The advance team helped to build connections for getting Chazak to the front lines for medical evacuations.

As this was the last deployment for the advance team and so we want to thank them for their service in paving the way for future deployments. Pray for them as they contemplate what life looks like following their time with Chazak Rescue!
Class 1 Update
Upon meeting up with the advance team, class 1 cadets began to carry out food distribution activity. The team was not able to carry out medivac operations as they had hoped however, their intentional presence and encouragement given to various Ukranian families and specifically elderly Ukrainians was well received.

Following their return from Ukraine on April 23rd, class 1 has been spread out across the states and the world completing various specialization training and internships. Be sure to check in with future blog posts to hear about these very specialized activities being completed by the class.
Specialization training is the final step for the class before being able to be deployed as a Chazak Rescue certified first responder team in September!
Class 2 Update
Class 2 has completed the busiest part of their at-home study during 1.4 Core Training. This time allowed them to develop connections and be restored ahead of a busier training schedule. In April the team came back together in PA for fundamentals of search and rescue training. They were also able to mingle with Chazak supporters by taking part in the 2023 Warrior Run!
