The CH-47 (Chinook) helicopter is the heavy lifter of the Army National Guard and requires precise mechanical attention. Used for cargo handling, transporting troops, disaster evacuation, and combat operations, it’s up to you to ensure these helicopters are ready to answer any call to action.

The wide range of missions and diversity of functions of Guard helicopters require a highly specialized maintenance team for each type of aircraft.

This includes all requisite inspections, service, and maintenance of aircraft and subsystems.

Job Duties

• Prepare aircraft for inspections and maintenance checks
• Assist in diagnosing/troubleshooting

Helpful Skills

• Ability to use hand and power tools

Through your training, you will develop the skills and experience to enjoy a civilian career with aircraft manufacturers, commercial airlines, and government agencies.
