The 16th Combat Aviation Brigade (16th CAB) of the U.S. Army operates the AH-64E Apache Guardian, a highly advanced attack helicopter. The brigade, based at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, is equipped with the AH-64E as part of its mission to provide close air support, aerial reconnaissance, and force protection. The Apache Guardian, a modernized version of the AH-64, boasts upgraded avionics, sensors, and weapons systems, significantly enhancing its lethality and operational versatility. The 16th CAB's AH-64E helicopters are integral in supporting combat operations, both in the U.S. and during deployment in global theaters. Designed to meet a US Army requirement for an advanced attack helicopter, the AH-64 was first flown on September 30th, 1975. Called "The Apache," this formidable helicopter replaced the AH-1 Cobra as the principal attack helicopter for the US Army. At the time of its introduction, the Apache was revolutionary, with an innovative helmet mounted display and improved crash survivability. It is heavily armored and has been called a "Flying Tank," not only because of its defenses but also because of its ability to inspire fear on the battlefield. The Apache has become a symbol of Army airpower, serving in both Gulf Wars and in Afghanistan. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
