// Strategic Significance

Boeing Ridley Park in suburban Philadelphia is the sole production facility for the CH-47 Chinook heavy-lift helicopter the workhorse of US Army aviation for over 60 years. Every Chinook helicopter in US and allied service was produced here. A production disruption would halt US Army heavy-lift helicopter capacity with no alternative supplier.

// Civilian Impact Assessment

Philadelphia metro with 6 million residents. Ridley Park is the only CH-47 Chinook producer in the world. Any major disruption leaves the US Army without heavy-lift helicopter replenishment.

// Evacuation & Shelter Guidance
