Kandahar, Afghanistan -- Sgt. Charles Ferrell, an AH-64 Apache helicopter mechanic with A Company, 8th Battalion, 101st Aviation Regiment, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), helps assemble one of the Apaches recently arrived in theater. A U.S. Army general called the helicopter mechanics in Afghanistan "mechanical heroes" for super work in assembling the helicopters very rapidly, working day and night, because these additional Apaches were urgently needed in the battles of Operation Anaconda.
