The CH-54 was capable of carrying modular troop accommodation units, and other bulky cargo up to 20,000 lb (9.000 Kg) The CH-54 was developed into the S-64 fire-fighting helicopter.

The CH-54 was used to recover downed and damaged aircraft in Vietnam and even as a bomber to clear space to build airfields.
