THE EJERCITO Argentino (EA, Argentine Army) conducted its Maipu exercise (named for the capital of the Maipu Partido district) at the Magdalena training area, Buenos Aires province, at the end of August. The final phase involved the Batallon de Helicopteros de Asalto 601 (601st Assault Helicopter Battalion) - which deployed four UH-1H Huey Ils - alongside armoured cavalry and mechanised infantry units. The UH-1s departed their home base at Campo de Mayo and arrived at Magdalena on August 21. Activities began the same afternoon when door-gunners trained in the use of 7.62mm MAG machine guns on board a pair of Huey Ils. The helicopters then performed a 'hot' refuelling from a supply truck of the Escuadron de Aviacion de Apoyo 604 (604th Support Aviation Squadron).
