According to a report, there has been a significant decrease in the amount of flying time for Army helicopter pilots, which has resulted in an increase in fatal crashes.

A report by military.com has revealed that Army pilots are flying significantly less than they were ten years ago. This is due to a decrease in flight time with the Apache by 50%, 36% less time in the air for Chinook pilots, and a 25% decrease in flight time for the Black Hawk, which is considered the Army's primary aircraft. The reduction in flight time has been attributed to the end of the Global War on Terror, but there have been several fatal helicopter crashes and close calls since February, leading to an Army-wide aviation stand-down in May.

On May 1, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) composed a letter addressed to the United States.
The Defense Secretary, Lloyd Austin, was asked about the helicopter crashes. A US Army veteran shared a memory of the 101st Airborne Division being ambushed by one of its own before the Iraq invasion. Senator Gillibrand wrote a letter expressing her concern for the safety of service members and requested a review of rotary-wing aviation accidents to understand the incidents and provide resources for protection. She asked for a response to her questions by August.
The Army is still investigating the recent accidents that occurred in Alaska.
