In 1989 this Aircraft was accepted into the Air Force Inventory, modified to current MH-60G specifications, and assigned to 55th Special Operations Squadron (55th SOS) at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida.

On 25 February 1993 the 55th Special Operations Squadron moved to Hurlburt Field, Florida.

In November 1998 the Aircraft was assigned to the 332nd Expeditionary Rescue Squadron (332nd ERS), 332d Air Expeditionary Group at Ahmad al-Jaber Air Base, Kuwait.

On 15 December 1999 the aircraft landed hard and rolled over, approximately 27.3 miles southeast of Al Jaber AB while making an approach to Bigfoot Landing Zone (LZ). All crewmembers were able to safely exit the helicopter following the accident. The primary cause of the mishap was pilot error. After starting a normal approach, the pilot allowed his instrument cross check to breakdown and failed to properly respond to crew inputs during the approach. Concentrating almost exclusively on trying to identify his intended landing spot in a featureless desert, the pilot allowed the airspeed to get too slow and developed an excessive sink rate. At between 75 and 100 feet above the ground the aircraft began a nearly vertical descent, landed hard and rolled over.
