2001年美国发动阿富汗战争至今,已经过去了9个年头。尽管美国及其北约盟国投入了大量的兵力和先进装备,仍无法将塔利班完全铲除,各地的恐怖袭击不断,巡逻队经常遭到自杀式袭击,伤亡不断。由于阿富汗交通条件太差,美国陆军直升机部队除了向前方运送兵员、物资,后运伤兵也成为其主要任务。 Nine years have passed since the United States launched the war in Afghanistan in 2001. Although the United States and its NATO allies have invested a large amount of troops and advanced equipment, they can not completely eliminate the Taliban. Terrorist attacks have taken place in various parts of the country. Patrols have frequently been subjected to suicide attacks and their casualties have been continuously rising. Due to the poor traffic conditions in Afghanistan, the U.S. Army Helicopters have not only delivered troops, supplies and wounded soldiers behind them, but also become their main tasks.
