A CH-47F Chinook helicopter from Task Force Spearhead, 1st Air Cavalry Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, flies over the mountains of western Afghanistan en route to the remote Forward Operating Base Chaghcharan, April 12. The Chinook was carrying personnel, tools and supplies for a Downed Aircraft Recovery Team in order to fix an AH-64D Apache attack helicopter which had been grounded at FOB Chaghcharan due to damage in the rotor blade. The damaged rotor blade was discovered after the Apache received fuel at the small Lithuanian run base. The DART consisted of maintainers from two companies within TF Spearhead, as well as maintainers from the Forward Logistics Element, 615th Aviation Support Battalion, 1st ACB. With hard work and dedication, the damaged rotor blade was replaced and the mission was a success. The recovered Apache was flown back safely to FOB Shindand.
