Air assault is the process of using vertical take-off and landing aircraft, such as a helicopter, to move ground-based military forces to terrain that has not yet been fully secured. The goal of these types of missions is often to seize and hold the unsecured terrain or directly engage enemy forces behind enemy lines. The use of air assault helicopters in these missions allow for troops to move much farther than they could on foot and safely get in behind enemy lines.
The Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk is one of the most versatile helicopters in the world. Designed to be dependable, fast, and high-performance, the UH-60 is an ideal air attack helicopter.
Additional features of the Black Hawk helicopter include:
When using a Black Hawk for air assault missions, the cabin can either be filled with 11 troops and two armed gunners or all of the seats can be removed so the cabin can be loaded with cargo.
Since its launch in the late 1970s, the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter has been used for various applications around the world. In particular, this high-performance helicopter is frequently used for air assault missions.
In particular, Black Hawk air assault helicopters were used in what is now considered the largest air assault mission in U.S. Army history. During the Gulf War in 1991, over 2,000 American air assault troops, including more than 300 helicopters, flew into Iraq for airborne assault missions. Of the numerous air assault Black Hawks that participated in this mission, two UH-60 air assault helicopters (89-26214 and 78-23015) were shot down while performing Combat Search and Rescue of other downed aircrews.
Additionally, UH-60 Black Hawks were utilized in the air assault on Mogadishu in Somalia in 1993. Similarly, Black Hawk air assault helicopters were frequently used throughout the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
