You old git in a whirlwind !!! Wonder how many actual single engine helicopters have actually had engine failures in the last say 5 years. I believe thatb90% of all accidents are pilot error that leaves 10 %. Of this how many are the donkey stopping due to mechanical failure, not running out of fuel. Coming back to mil training ones training has diddly squat to do with has it got 1 2 or 3 engines. So comes back to how many mil ac have flown ifr that then crashed due to engine failure . I don't disagree that. 2 is better than 1 when flying over hostile environment
