WIESBADEN, Germany —

From July 24-25, approximately 10 U.S. Army helicopters are scheduled to depart from Alexandroupoli, Greece, and fly to training areas in Romania.

The 10 Black Hawk helicopters belong to the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade, who are arriving in Europe for a nine-month rotation in support of Atlantic Resolve. 

During these dates, residents of Alexandroupoli and neighboring communities may see a large formation of helicopters. 

The flights are scheduled to occur between the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. They will adhere to standard noise abatement procedures.

We value our relationship with our Greek allies and we take voluntary steps to be good neighbors while maintaining our combat effectiveness.  

Since April 2014, U.S. Army Europe has led the Department of Defense’s Atlantic Resolve land efforts by bringing units based in the U.S. to Europe for nine months at a time. Atlantic Resolve provides these rotational units with the ability to build readiness, increase interoperability and enhances the bond between ally and partner militaries through multinational training events. There are three types of Atlantic Resolve rotations – armored, aviation and sustainment task force.
