The CH-46E Sea Knight helicopter is used by the U.S. Marine Corps as a medium-lift assault helicopter primarily to move troops. It provides all-weather, day-or-night assault transport of combat troops, supplies, and equipment. The CH-46 Sea Knight was first procured in 1964 to meet the medium-lift requirements of the Marine Corps in Vietnam.
