The stand-down grounded aircraft until the units completed maintenance and safety reviews.Įditor's note: This story has been updated to correct the number of soldiers who were killed and injured in a helicopter collision in Alaska.Following Dead Cells: Fatal Falls, Dead Cells: The Queen and the Sea continue the DLCs for the base game and serve as a late-game arrival and alternative path to the High Peak Castle, Derelict Distillery, and Throne Room biomes featured on its predecessors. The service is still compiling findings for its aviation stand-down, which ended May 5 for active-duty units and is still in effect for the National Guard until the end of the month. Between 20, the bulk of Guard pilots flew around five hours per month. The report found significant issues in the National Guard, particularly a lack of flight hours among its pilots, who need a minimum of 6.77 hours a month, with nine hours being considered optimal. In addition to missions overseas in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, the Guard also heavily uses helicopters on domestic missions in disaster relief and search and rescue, which governors have increasingly relied on.Īmongst other incidents, two Tennessee National Guard soldiers died in a Black Hawk crash in February a 2021 Black Hawk crash killed three New York Guardsmen and a 2015 Black Hawk crash killed four Lousiana Guard soldiers and seven Marines. The Army National Guard also has had a large number of incidents over the past decade, with 45 serious crashes killing 28 Guardsmen, according to an April report from the Government Accountability Office. The Army's manned aviation accident rate steadily declined over the past decade as flight hours executed also declined." "The Army has not identified any correlation between flight hours and accidents. "The overall reduction in rotary-wing flying hours executed over the past decade is directly attributable to the drawdown in overseas contingency operations executed in Iraq and Afghanistan during that period," Jason Waggoner, a service spokesperson, said in a statement to. The letter requested further info on recent issues with helicopters, including total figures for incidents and whether there were any common themes to the causes.Īrmy officials have said that they don't see a connection between flight hours and accidents. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., wrote in a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin earlier this month. "If we have known issues with certain helicopters, we need to know so we can resource your Department in a manner that protects the lives of our brave women and men in uniform," Sen. The crash in March involving the 101st Airborne was one of the deadliest non-combat incidents in the Army's history and, while it's unclear what caused it, it is one of many fatal helicopter crashes outside of a war zone in the past decade leading to new scrutiny on whether the service's helicopters are safe and its pilot training adequate.
Aviation units were tasked with reviewing maintenance of their crafts and going over safety procedures. James McConville, the Army's top officer, ordered a safety stand-down following back-to-back high-profile helicopter crashes: one involving two Black Hawks that killed nine 101st Airborne Division troops and another in Alaska in which three soldiers were killed and a fourth injured when two AH-64 Apaches collided.
