The proposed sale of AH-64 and CH-47 does not comprise any principal contractor.

It will support the Royal Netherlands Air Force’s (RNLAF) AH-64 and CH-47 training programme and help maintain highly trained and deployment-ready Apache and Chinook units.

The units will undergo training activities, including the AMERICAN FALCON exercise at Fort Hood, Texas.

AMERICAN FALCON event certifies Netherlands’ military units and personnel to deploy overseas.

Recently, the DSCA notified Congress of the potential FMS of an F-16 air combat training centre (ACTC) to Jordan.
