Summary

What This Bill Does

Senate Resolution 519 is a ceremonial resolution that formally recognizes the achievements and contributions of the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter to U.S. national defense. The resolution honors the Army aviators, maintainers, and support personnel who operate and sustain the Apache helicopter fleet, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to transmit a copy of the resolution to the Army Aviation Center of Excellence at Fort Rucker, Alabama.

Who Benefits and How
