After 2 deadly helicopter crashes, Army grounds most aviators until they complete new training -
The stand-down order from Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville came just one day after three soldiers were killed and another hospitalized after two Army AH-64 Apache helicopters collided while returning from a training mission near Fort Wainwright, Alaska. Last month, nine soldiers died after two Blackhawk helicopters collided during an Army training mission near Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
“The safety of our aviators is our top priority, and this stand down is an important step to make certain we are doing everything possible to prevent accidents and protect our personnel,” Gen. McConville said in a statement. “During this stand-down, we will focus on safety and training protocols to ensure our pilots and crews have the knowledge, training and awareness to safely complete their assigned mission.
