Soldiers who are members of a downed aircraft recovery team formed by TF Spearhead, 1st Air Cavalry Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, carry a new rotor blade from a CH-47F Chinook helicopter that was flown in to help recover a grounded AH-64D Apache attack helicopter at FOB Chaghcharan April 12. The Apache was grounded due to damage in the rotor blade that was discovered after it received fuel at the small Lithuanian run base. A Downed Aircraft Recovery Team was formed in order to fix the damaged aircraft. 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 mission was a success and the Apache was safely flown back to FOB Shindand.
