During it's first visit to Switzerland's capital, this C-40C had Gen. Daniel R. Hokanson, the Chief of the US National Guard Bureau, on board. The working visit focused on possibilities to enhance training cooperation between the different military service models the US and Switzerland persue. The talks seemed to have been bearing fruit, as 2024 saw a rise of US military helicopters visiting Switzerland for joint alpine mountain training. Thus, three US Army CH47's based in Wiesbaden (Germany) deployed to Payerne AB in May 2024, followed by two USAF UH-60's from Italy in October 2024.
