The January contract is valued at USD 119 million and is scheduled for completion by the end of November 2030. Full funding was obligated at the time of signing and is provided entirely by the Federal Republic of Germany, with the contract covering the production of training and maintenance equipment as well as personnel training services.
The first contract, which initiated helicopter production, was signed in October 2025 and is worth USD 876.5 million, with full funding also activated at signing. Deliveries under that agreement are planned to be completed by the end of October 2035, and additional contracts between the Department of War and Boeing are expected in the coming years.
The intergovernmental agreement between the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany for the purchase of 60 Boeing CH-47F Chinook Block II helicopters was signed in July 2023.
The helicopters, scheduled for delivery between 2027 and 2033, will replace the currently operated CH-53G Stallion fleet and are part of a broader package valued at EUR 6.98 billion, which also includes spare parts, training, logistics support, and ground and training equipment, with the aircraft configured for standard fuel capacity and equipped with aerial refueling probes compatible with platforms such as the previously ordered and soon-to-be-delivered Lockheed Martin KC-130J Super Hercules.
