The Air Force Special Operations Command is gearing up to deploy its fleet of CV-22B Osprey aircraft for counter terror operations after a fatal crash in Japan last November prompted a grounding of its crews. The command's top commander revealed that the deployment is just weeks away.
Following the tragic crash that claimed the lives of eight service members, the command has conducted a thorough review of the challenges faced by the Osprey fleet. The aircraft, known for its unique ability to fly like both a helicopter and an airplane, has experienced four fatal crashes in the past two years, resulting in the loss of 20 service members.
