Boeing has secured a new contract from the US Army to supply nine CH-47F Block II Chinook heavy-lift helicopters in two separate awards totalling $461 million . The deal, announced on October 21, 2025, and reported by Reuters, covers production Lots Four and Five and brings the total number of Block II Chinooks under contract to 18.

This order underscores the US Army’s continued emphasis on modernising its heavy-lift helicopter capabilities, with the Chinook remaining a workhorse for troop movement, cargo haul, and special operations in challenging environments. Boeing’s commitment to delivering the Block II variant reflects long-term demand for upgrade paths, sustainment, and deep integration with Army aviation strategy.
