TZMD Operation Hardshaft

ZAZZU

Teame Zazzu Mountain Division led TZ participants in coordinated underground operations conducting a tunnel complex safety survey. TZ forward operators located and secured the entrance with K9 units during patrols in a mountainous region southwest of the Great Salt Lake.

Drone Division utilized a TZ.ROV.V.5 drone to scout and tunnels and gauge ground stability for armed�TZMD operators. Teame members then moved through the tunnels clearing mine shafts and marking hazards. After locating a vertical shaft inside the tunnel complex, the ROV.V.5 was lowered via tether along a 90 degree angle of declination approximately 20 meters to assess rappel breach procedures and allow for FMV recording and transmission.

“ Watch the angle of the dangle! ”

TZMD operators successfully secured the tunnel complex during underground operations and egressed the area under cover of darkness after hoist recovery of the TZ.ROV.V.5 drone unit. TZMD operators then�completed a drone assisted ground patrol of surrounding areas, rendezvousing with additional TZMD mobile assets. Go Teame!
