he crew of an Army National Guard medical evacuation helicopter that h
overed extremely low over protesters in Washington, D.C. on Monday has been grounded pending an investigation, Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy told reporters on Friday.
“That [investigation] should be coming to a close shortly,” McCarthy said. “I’m going to get an interim update later today.”
The Army immediately grounded the crew as soon as the investigation was launched on Monday, he said.
“Once you initiate a 15-6 into an aircrew – done – they’re grounded,” McCarthy said.
