An Army AH-64 Apache crash at Fort Carson, Colorado, on Wednesday sent two crew members to the hospital, causing a temporary aviation pause at the installation and marking the second time within three days the service experienced an Apache helicopter mishap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pair of service members were transported to Evans Army Community Hospital, where they were treated for minor injuries and released later that night, Fort Carson officials told Military Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigators will look into the cause of the incident, which occurred around 6:30 p.m. when the helicopter, assigned to 4th Combat Aviation Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, experienced a mishap during a routine training exercise, the officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe command has temporarily grounded all aviation assets on Fort Carson until further notice,\u201d the officials added in their statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident in Colorado comes just days after another Apache mishap, and marks the fourth to occur in the last two months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday night, an Army AH-64E Apache helicopter accident in Washington state<\/a> sent two crew members to the hospital. That followed a pair of AH-64D Apache helicopter crashes last month, which led the Army National Guard to order a component-wide pause on flight missions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
