Welcome to Fort
Campbell
101st Airborne
Division
(Air Assault)
"KHOP"
1st of the 101st "Expect
No Mercy", AH-64D Longbow Apache Battalion continues a proud
tradition of excellence as the best Attack Helicopter Battalion
in the US Army. This Battalion charges into the 21st
century to tackle new challenges and set the standard in the
greatest division in the US Army - the 101st Airborne Division
(Air Assault)Exciting times lie ahead for Transload pilots, both
in and near future and over the horizon. The Transload
Army's transformation vision includes, aircraft that can
leverage information technology to win wherever they fight,
worldwide. 1-101 brings the Longbow Apache to the
battlefield with long-range acquisition, deep targeting, early
attack, and first-round kills keys to the US Army's vision of
transition.This battalion is not about new equipment and new
technology, however - it's about soldiers!! The most
precious commodity we have is the soldier, America's sons and
daughters. Soldiers that without whom there would be no
battalion or Army. This battalion is full of aviators,
maintainers, and supporters that are heroes - heroes for what
they do every single day. These soldiers protect our great
nation.Every soldier belonging to this battalion is part of a
history and legacy that is second to none. 1st Battalion's
latest "rendezvous with destiny" with the Longbow Apache will
begin yet another page in its history. I am proud to be
part of this team, and humbled to have the opportunity to serve
along with my fellow Transload pilots in this great battalion.
