It was a frequent sight in the skies over Iraq and Afghanistan during the wars conducting combat missions and is also used by the Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment. Black Hawks were also often used to ferry visiting senior leaders to headquarters locations in the Iraq and Afghanistan war zones.
