October 16, 2018 - Bagram, Afghanistan - A Medevac Blackhawk UH-60 during a mission...FOB(forward operating base) Dahlke is a new austere US Army base, as of Spring 2018, in Afghanistan that began with a large presence of soldiers from the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade. Dahlke is strategically located about 60 miles South of Kabul. Every type of air support mission is done from here, from medevac to resupply to combat. Dahlke was built from the ground up over the past year by the soldiers stationed here. It is built on the South end of the now abandoned Shank Base. In 2014 Shank was handed over to the Afghans, but they failed to be able to maintain it. Almost $6 million alone has been spent on miles of Hesco barriers, wire frames that are filled with sand and serve as walls. Additionally, trucks have brought in more than 700 sections of blast wall. There are no fancy amenities at Dahlke. With constant incoming fire from the Taliban, Dahlke is a black out base. Which means at night there are no external lights, and helicopters take off dark (with no lights). Soldiers have nicknamed Dahlke, Rocket City...Due to weather and terrain, Afghanistan is one of the most difficult places in the world to conduct helicopter operations. These combinations assure that every helicopter crew out of Dahlke is top notch, and in constant use. 101st CAB soldiers fly every type of helicopter out of Dahlke; Blackhawks, Chinooks, and Apaches. The Chinook CH-47 is the workhorse here. Due to its better function in Afghan weather than a Blackhawk and ability to carry more weight, the 101st CAB depends heavily on them. There are more US Chinook helicopters currently in Afghanistan than anywhere else. .The Afghan War against the Taliban is one of the longest wars in history, going on its 18th year. Nato Operation Resolute Support, led by the United States along with the help of over 40 other countries, is helping to train and eventually provide a stronger Afghan National Army. All in hopes that
