Retired aviators train Iran army in helicopter warfare
U S Army aviators now work for a private Bell Helicopter unit training Iran on combat helicopter assault warfare. The 1,500-man American civilian force, led by retired Maj Gen Derk M Oden, aims to form the Iron Sky Cavalry brigade with attack helicopters modeled after Vietnam era units. Training contracts cover maintenance and flight instruction, including gunship tactics, with Tehran hosting schools in Isfahan and Tehran.
