1st AD CAB taking over from 1st ACB (13th AB rotation Atlantic Resolve)

[Sjoerd]

Though information is a bit scarce, it seems the next Rotational Deployment has already arrived. The typical 9 month rotation seems to have come a bit early and have arrived in Gdansk, Poland & Thessaloniki, Greece. The unit involved is the 1st AD CAB from Ft. Bliss/Bigs AAF, which has only been here once before and has switched many airframes in the mean time.

A total of 8x UH-60L, 24x AH-64D, 12x CH-47F, 10x UH-60M and 12x HH-60M have been discharged in Poland. Another 16x UH-60M and 3x HH-60M were discharged in Greece. Finally also 4x UH-60M went to Turkey, adding up to a grand total of 89 helicopters deployed.

Local flights seem to have started from the port of Gdansk to nearby Prucsz-Gdanski (49 Baza Lotnicza) as of 29/1/2025 using the adsb playback function. Movements from Greece started around 3/2/2025 with helicopters departing from Alexandroupolis port to Alexandroupolis airport.

Below overview is a mix of actual sightings and adsb sightings, whereas in the latter the serial was checked against the callsign and matched (exceptions noted).

Thanks Pieter! That surely will help making the list complete. For now I will only list the ones noted on this side of the ocean.

Also, this one below needs checking, as it is currently deployed already in Europe with the current CAB.

Sjoerd, a few typos: 20858 is an HH-60, base is EPPR and the Apaches will indeed come from 1-501 AVN. I also noticed R08444 flying in port on 29th.
Arriving on 30th: 26482, 08167, 20856, 20857 (hex from 20509) and 20817 (hex from 20055)

Sjoerd,

A few minor mistakes in your overview, so I copied my own overview. Please note that some of the Blackhawks use incorrect hex codes.

Thanks Edwin, Hans and Jeroen for providing the additions!

There do seem to be some mix-up in dates, probably due to date settings in the playback function. Also, I could not find CH-47F 14-08444 and UH-60L 93-26482.

I will keep the first post updated with logs noted within Europe (at least their f/n).
