Historical Background

Introduced into U.S. Army service in 1984, the AH-64A Apache was designed to defeat enemy armor while providing close air support and battlefield reconnaissance. Equipped with advanced targeting systems, AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, Hydra 70 rockets, and the devastating 30mm M230 Chain Gun, the Apache quickly became one of the most capable attack helicopters in the world. Aircraft operated by the South Carolina Army National Guard have supported overseas deployments, including operations in Iraq, where they provided armed reconnaissance, convoy escort, and close air support for coalition forces. Today, the Apache remains one of the most respected combat helicopters ever built.
