A French air force EC 725 Caracal helicopter of Task

A French air force EC 725 Caracal helicopter of Task Force Mousquetaire sits on display at Kabul International Airport for a contingent of U.S. Army aviators and commanders from Task Force Pegasus, 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade, July 21. The Caracal is a multi-function utility helicopter used for troop transport, casualty evacuation, and combat search and rescue, similar to the UH-60 Black Hawk the U.S. Army uses. The meeting between the two task forces was an opportunity to compare aircraft capabilities and determine how the two NATO partners can best assist each other in operations over eastern Afghanistan.
