The aircraft itself has served many different roles in the military. It was designed as a four-blade, twin-engine, medium-lift utility helicopter that could serve many roles. From being used in actual combat scenarios to playing a key role in helping out with the likes of medical evacuation, the UH-60 is popular with good reason
Indeed, it first entered service with the US Army in 1979, and since then has been used by the US Navy, US Air Force and the Coast Guard with regular success. It has also played a key role in resolving conflicts in the Middle East, The Americas and also across Eastern Europe in the past.
