Army belonged to Army Test and Evaluation Center. By 2006 almost all had left the inventory. Finally, age and performance limitations would see it replaced by the UH-60 in most active Army and National Guard units. It would serve in that role for several more years seeing combat once again during the invasion of Grenada and limited use during Gulf War I as a medevac platform. This ability forever changed the face of warfare and gave a new name of "Air Mobile" to the concept of operations.
Army combat operations by providing the ability to rapidly mobilize large concentrations of troops en masse. More importantly, it revolutionized the U. The UH-1 quickly evolved and was modified to fill a variety of roles from troop transport, medevac, command and control and armed gunship roles. In all, this revolutionary aircraft was operated by all four services and over 35 countries. The other services saw the utility of the UH-1 and quickly adopted the aircraft. Over the next 16 years more than 16,000 UH-1s were produced with some 7,000 seeing combat action in Vietnam. Shortly thereafter it was introduced to its iconic combat role in Vietnam. The UH-1 became the first turbine-powered helicopter to enter military service in 1960 where, through the innovation and advancement of the capability, it revolutionized warfare. Bell Helicopter designed what would be first designated as the HU-1 Iroquois, and in true aviator fashion was simply called "Huey" by its operators. Army developed the requirements for a turbine-powered helicopter with extended range and increased payload for medical evacuation and utility transport requirements. Although it proved useful, the H-13 had many shortcomings including range and payload deficiencies. The H-13 demonstrated the utility of the helicopter in combat, saving multiple servicemen during the conflict. The UH-1 started its career as a replacement for the Bell H-13 "Sioux" used primarily during the Korean conflict. This was the very last UH-1, one of the "Dirty Dozen", to be proudly flown over southern New Mexico before it was transferred to the Louisiana State Police, where it will continue to serve the public with honor and dignity.
