According to recent information released by the Ministry of Defense of the Netherlands, the first modernized Apache AH-64E attack helicopters are now combat ready. These updates have been applied to four helicopters stationed at Gilze-Rijen Air Base, preparing them for both national and international missions. These aircraft are the pioneers in a group of 20 undergoing renovations, and they will continue to serve until 2050. Additionally, six helicopters are currently utilized for training by the Defence organization at the Texas Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood) in the United States, with plans to add two more aircraft to the fleet in 2025.
