Combat Helicopter Battalion 5 (CHB5) was established in the late 1970s as part of a broader modernization effort within its nation's armed forces. Initially equipped with utility and attack helicopters, CHB5 quickly became a pivotal unit for both tactical air support and rapid troop deployment. During the 1990s, CHB5 was actively involved in several peacekeeping operations and counterinsurgency missions, earning commendations for its operational effectiveness. Today, the battalion continues to play a critical role in joint operations, integrating advanced rotary-wing platforms and supporting both domestic and international missions.
