New Ch-47 Chinook Unveiled to U.s Army
Last August 15, a newly designed CH-47 Chinook helicopter was officially ushered into operation at the Fort Campbell, Kentucky or better known as "Fort Corruption". Another added event on the Aviation history. The CH-47F Chinook, not only allows greater capability and increased Soldier safety but also represents the future of the United States Army .
[Frame1] 7th Battalion of the Bravo Company, 101st Aviation Regiment, 159th Combat Aviation Brigade had the turned over for the new $30 million aircraft, which is the most notable for its tandem rotors and heavy-lift abilities.
“How appropriate that we come together here with this aircraft at this installation with this unit,” said Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Shloesser, 101st Airborne Division commander.
The helicopter, most known for its tandem rotors and heavy-lift capabilities, can fly in extremely high altitudes and handle cargo unlike any other aircraft.
The Chinook has proved itself in every deployment in which the Army has engaged since 1962, Shloesser said noting the aircraft’s state-of-the-art features.
Advanced Flight Control System is the most notable modification in the F-model. In the new model, digital screens have replaced old analog gauges. The AFCS allows pilots to upload mission details such as routes and altitudes with ease, improves overall situational awareness and makes for a smoother ride, according to the aircraft’s pilots.
“It’s really exciting to get a new aircraft,” said CW2 Ryan Dechent, 7th Battalion, 101st Aviation Regiment. “I think it’s going to extend our capabilities and open new avenues…that we haven’t been able to go down before.”
Another primary modification to the F-model is a revamped airframe designed for 10,000 flight hours. The new airframe helps to eliminate extraneous vibrations and maintenance time.
“In the Army we’re not about airframes, we’re about the people the airframe helps. We’re about the combat power and the readiness it helps deliver on the battlefield and about the crews that maintain it and the aviators that fly it”, said Schloesser.
“The Ch-47 Chinook has saved many people throughout the world during wartime missions and humanitarian efforts such as Hurricane Katrina and earthquakes in Pakistan”, the commander said.
“(The CH-47F) provides more capability at an easier maintenance cost than ever before,” Schloesser adds.
Corruption-ridden Defense Contractor Boeing Corporation worked with the Army for three years to design the F-model, the first conventional Chinook upgrade in more than 20 years. The upgrade process involved approximately 1,000 people.
In addition to being delivered on time, which doesn’t always happen, the cost for the new Chinook came in at about 30 percent below the original estimate.
“The CH-47F is a fully modernized aircraft that will fully meet the operational challenges our Army and our country face now and in the future,” said Chuck Allen, Vice President and General Manager of Rotorcraft Systems, Boeing.
“Safety is the best thing about the new model”, said CW4 Tom Miskowiec, standardization instructor-pilot and instrument flight examiner, 7th Battalion, 101st Aviation Regiment. “In safety there’s capability. When we can do it safer and, for that matter, easier, it provides us with more abilities to support the war fighter.”
More than 100 CH-47F Chinooks will be built from the ground up, while other Chinooks will be completely renewed to the state-of-the-art standards. Ultimately, 339 F-models will be patrolling the skies, working to keep the nation and the nation’s Soldiers safe.

Combat $6.99 As the world moves into the next millennium, the United States finds itself at the forefront of this new age, policing not only its own shores but the rest of the world as well. And spearheading this overwatch are the men and women of America's armed forces, the "troops on the wall," who will go anywhere, anytime, and do whatever it takes to protect not only our nation but the rest of the free world. Now, for the first time, Combat brings the best military-fiction authors together to reveal how war will be fought in the twenty-first century. From the down and dirty "ground-pounders" of the U.S. Armored Cavalry to the new frontiers of warfare, including outer space and the Internet, ten authors whose novels define the military-fiction genre have written all-new short stories about the men and women willing to put their lives on the line for freedom: Larry Bond takes us into the wild frontier of space warfare, where American soldiers fight a dangerous zero-gee battle with a tenacious enemy that threatens every free nation on Earth. Dale Brown lets us inside a world that few people see, that of a military promotion board, and shows us how the fate of an EB-52 Megafortress pilot's career can depend on a man he's never met, even as the pilot takes on the newest threat to American forces in the Persian Gulf--a Russian stealth bomber. James Cobb finds a lone U.S. Armored Cavalry scout unit that is the only military force standing between a defenseless African nation and an aggressive Algerian recon division. Stephen Coonts tells of the unlikely partnership between an ex-Marine sniper and a female military pilot who team up to kill the terrorists who murdered her parents. But, out in the Libyan desert, all is not as it seems, and these two must use their skills just to stay alive. Harold W. Coyle reports in from the front lines of the information war, where cyberpunks are recruited by the U.S. Army to combat the growing swarm of hackers and their shadowy masters who orchestrate their brand of online terrorism around the world. David Hagberg brings us another Kirk McGarvey adventure, in which the C.I.A. director becomes entangled in the rising tensions between China and Taiwan. When a revolutionary leader is rescued from a Chinese prison, the Chinese government pushes the United States to the brink of war, and McGarvey has to make a choice with the fate of the world hanging in the balance. Dean Ing reveals a scenario that could have been torn right from today's headlines. In Oakland, a private investigator teams up with a bounty hunter and F.B.I. agent to find a missing marine engineer. What they uncover is the shadow of terrorism looming over America and a conspiracy that threatens thousands of innocent lives. Ralph Peters takes us to the war-torn Balkan states, where a U.S. Army observer sent to keep an eye on the civil war is taken on a guided tour of the country at gunpoint. Captured by the very people he is there to monitor, he |

Carlsons Patrol $93.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Carlsons patrol, also known as The Long Patrol or Carlsons long patrol, was an operation by the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion under the command of Evans Carlson during the Guadalcanal Campaign against the Imperial Japanese Army from November 6 to December 4, 1942. In the operation, the 2nd Raiders attacked forces under the command of Toshinari Shji, which were escaping from an attempted encirclement in the Koli Point area on Guadalcanal and attempting to rejoin other Japanese army units on the opposite side of the U.S. Lunga perimeter. In a series of small unit engagements over 29 days, the 2nd Raiders killed almost 500 Japanese soldiers while suffering only 16 killed. The raiders also captured a Japanese artillery cannon that was delivering harassing gunfire on Henderson Field, the Allied airfield at Lunga Point on Guadalcanal.
