The UH-72 (LUH, light utility helicopter) Lakota is an EC-145 that the Army purchased in order to replace UH-1 Hueys and free up UH-60s for combat roles (cheaper to operate UH72s than hawks). It is supposed to stay nondeployable and be used by guard, reserve, and training center support in MEDEVAC and other light utility missions.
I think it came on board about 3 years ago and I've seen them in action.
