French. Current uses After the USAF departure, Phalsbourg AB was used by the French Army as a helicopter base and a logistics depot. The base was renamed quartier La Horie. Currently, the 1er régiment d'hélicoptères de combat (1er RHC) Combat Helicopter Regiment operates from the base and flies Eurocopter Tiger, SA341D "Gazelles", SA 330 "Pumas", and AS 532 "Cougar". The base is well-maintained and has been expanded over the years, and remains a front-line French military facility.
