The incident
The two AH-64 Apache helicopters which were with the 1st Attack Reconnaissance Battalion, 25th Aviation Regiment, were moving from a mission in the Donnelly Training Area to Fort Wainwright on 27 April 2023, when they collided at 1:39 pm (local time).

Two of the four troops were pronounced dead at the incident scene, while a third died en route to a Fairbanks hospital. The Army stated that the event was being investigated, and withheld the identities of the killed individuals until their relatives could be notified.[1]
Aftermath
The United States Army indicated one day after the incident that it had suspended aviation units for training after 12 troops died in helicopter crashes in Alaska and Kentucky over the previous month. According to the army notification, the action halts all Army aviators, excluding those engaging in crucial missions, until they finish the necessary training.[3]
