1st ACB taking over from 1st CAB (12th AB rotation Atlantic Resolve)

[Antheii]

According the original ARC schedule the ARC Defender must arrive in Zeebrugge on 31 May.
Possibly this ship has helicopters on board.
There are also Notams for Koksijde for the period from 16 May up till 4 July. Most likely related to the helicopters as well.

This seems very likely now! It arrived in Beaumont, TX at May-11th. Endurance finally left Corpus Christi and according to Marinetraffic is inbound Esbjerg, DK.

The Endurance indeed just docked in Esjberg.

AH-64E 16-03103 had a small white batch with something looks like a skull? Any idea about its company?

[David Moore]

18-03238 had this on the engine exhaust too. Looks like a skull with 2 crossed (?)tomahawks behind it. I haven't been able to link this insignia to a particular unit yet, sorry.

[GIPS]

Patriot is expected the 19th in Zeebrugge and will bring around 25 helicopters. Another ship is expected by the end of June to bring the last part.

After Koksijde today I drove to Zeebrugge Harbour for the last helicopters.

ARC PATRIOT was just leaving his dock.

The final 4 helicopters were parked most to the right facing the water.
The helicopters which were going back to CONUS were all facing the buildings in a long row just left of the Chinook starting with 17-03191 AH-64E

Noted inbound:

14-08462 CH-47F USAR B/2-227th Avn

The final 2 Apaches needs confirmation as well, as they were very hard
