Summary

The AH-64 Apache's five decades of innovation and combat service are recognized as a core strength for U.S. and allied defense. The resolution honors the aviators, maintainers, and support personnel who operate and sustain the Apache and notes its first flight on September 30, 1975. It highlights more than 5.2 million total flight hours, including 1.3 million combat hours, and traces continuous modernization from the AH-64A to the AH-64E with upgraded avionics, sensors, and networked weapons. Production and sustainment touch 46 states with final assembly in Arizona. The Apache operates from Fort Rucker, serves in four Army National Guard battalions, supports 16 allied and partner nations, and has played decisive roles in operations from Desert Storm to Inherent Resolve while contributing to counter-unmanned system efforts.
