    A military attack helicopter, identifiable as an AH-64 Apache by its distinctive tandem cockpit and nose-mounted sensor suite, is photographed in flight over a large body of water. The image is taken from close range, likely from another aircraft, with the helicopter silhouetted against a hazy horizon. Two crew members are visible in the tandem cockpits.

    Soldiers assigned to Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 111th Aviation Regiment, 77th Combat Aviation Brigade, conducted deck landings in the Arabian Gulf, Oct. 11-12. The UH-60 Blackhawk and AH-64 Apache crews took turns landing their aircraft aboard the USNS Alan Shepard to qualify their crews in this type of maneuver. Upon completion of the qualification each set of aircraft was refueled by the vessel and flown back to Camp Buehring, Kuwait. Training exercises like these play an important role in mission readiness and total force capability by increasing interoperability between branches, which is vital for joint collaboration missions (U.S. Army photos by Sgt. Aaron Ellerman)
