The U.S. Army Special Operations Aviation Command (USASOAC) has placed an order for six remanufactured MH-47G Block II Chinook helicopters as part of a modernization plan to update the Army’s aging Chinook heavy-lift cargo helicopter fleet. The $271 million deal, announced by Boeing, brings the total number of Block II special operations variant Chinooks under contract to 42. These helicopters are known for their unique capabilities and have been used for special operations missions worldwide. This contract aligns with the Army’s ongoing heavy-lift study to determine the future of the more advanced CH-47 Block II, while Block I production has already ceased.
