Job Description

The CH-47 (Chinook) helicopter is the heavy lifter of the Army National Guard and requires precise mechanical attention. Used for cargo handling, transporting troops, disaster evacuation, and combat operations, it's up to you to ensure these helicopters are ready to answer any call to action.

The wide range of missions and diversity of functions of Guard helicopters require a highly specialized maintenance team for each type of aircraft.
