When does the taxi service turn into a combat assault aircraft?

One of the missions is to transport Special Reaction Teams in the event of hostile attacks upon a missile site or related facility.

When the bullets start flying....I would much rather be in a Blackhawk than the AW-139.

Likewise....come crashworthiness and redundancy of systems...I bet the UH-60 is far more resilient than the 139.
