===Drug Enforcement Administration===
The UH-1H has been used on multiple occasions by the American [[Drug Enforcement Administration]] (DEA); initially, these were usually borrowed from the U.S. Army to support planned missions, such for [[Operation Snowcap]], a large multi-year counter-[[narcotics]] action covering nine countries across [[Latin America]].<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.dea.gov/sites/default/files/2021-04/1985-1990_p_58-67.pdf |title= History |publisher= [[Drug Enforcement Administration]] |access-date= 27 June 2022 |page= 63}}</ref>

During the [[War in Afghanistan]], the DEA made use of a number of UH-1s stationed in the country for the purpose of conducting counter-narcotics raids. Operated by contractors, these Hueys provide transportation, surveillance, and air support for DEA FAST teams. During July 2009, four UH-1Hs and two [[Mi-17]]s were used in a raid that led to the arrest of an [[Afghan Border Police]] commander on corruption charges.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2009/09/afghan-hash-bust-underscores-official-corruption/ |title= Afghan hash bust underscores official corruption |publisher= Wired.com |access-date= 4 October 2009 |archive-date= 24 May 2013 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130524014429/http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2009/09/afghan-hash-bust-underscores-official-corruption/ |url-status= dead }}</ref>
