What is the crew composition of a LUH-72A when not being used for MEDEVAC operations?

The crew composition of a LUH-72A when not being used for MEDEVAC operations typically consists of four personnel: a pilot, a co-pilot, a crew chief, and an in-flight medic. This arrangement allows for efficient operation and management of the aircraft, ensuring that critical roles are filled for various flying and mission-related tasks. The pilot is responsible for flying the helicopter, the co-pilot assists in navigation and operation, the crew chief takes care of maintenance issues and ensures the safety of the operation on the ground and during flight, while the in-flight medic is available to address any medical needs that may arise during the mission.

This structure is essential for effective mission execution, as each role supports not only the helicopter's operational capabilities but also the safety and well-being of personnel on board. The inclusion of an in-flight medic is particularly beneficial for tactical missions that may require immediate medical assistance without the context of MEDEVAC operations.
