US Army Halts Aviation Operations for Safety Training After Fatal Crashes

The US army has grounded all aviation units for training after 12 soldiers died in helicopter crashes in Alaska and Kentucky in the last month. The suspension was effective immediately, with units being grounded until they complete the training.
