Helicopters are used every day in the United States Army. These are used for a variety of different reasons. As such, they come in a variety of different sizes with a variety of different engines. Because of the specialized nature of the engines and other important systems on each helicopter, it is necessary for some specialization in those who repair the helicopters. This is why those who repair the UH-60 are in a separate class all onto themselves.
