The Accident investigation of a Blackhawk Helicopter at Fort Hood, Texas raised some serious problems with SAR at that installation.
Are we too complacent when an Aircraft is Overdue and not in Radio Contact?
It appears at least one Unit was when it responded to a request to launch an Aircraft to conduct a Search for the missing Blackhawk.
Their reply was "That is not in our Lane! That Unit (the missing Blackhawk's Unit) is responsible for searching for their own aircraft."
What has happened to the Army Aviation I used to know....where we immediately responded to any such request or report with every asset available?
