I have a large amount of Chinook HC1 helicopters for sale here are the stats:

Chinook HC2

-Support helicopter capable of carrying 10 tonnes of freight
-Can carry 54 troops
-Three under-fuselage lifting points for carrying outsize loads

Chinooks are used primarily for trooping and for load carrying (both internal and underslung) and can carry up to 54 troops or 10 tonnes of freight. The cabin is large enough to accommodate two Land Rovers, while the three underslung load hooks allow a huge flexibility in the type and number of loads that can be carried. Secondary roles include Search and Rescue and Casualty Evacuation (a total of 24 stretchers can be carried). The crew consists of either two pilots, or a pilot and navigator, and two Air Loadmasters. The aircraft can be armed with two M-134 six-barrelled Miniguns and an M-60 machine gun.

The Chinook is a very capable and versatile support helicopter and has been involved in most of the recent UK Operations such as the Falklands Conflict, Northern Ireland, the Gulf War, peace keeping in The Balkans, evacuation of Sierra Leone and operations in Afghanistan and Iraq (Operation Telic). The aircrew and supporting groundcrew are trained to operate in a range of conditions from living under canvas in field sites to embarking upon aircraft carriers.

Roles
Support Helicopter (SH). The tactical movement of troops, weapons, ammunition and support stores in the battlefield.
Casualty Evacuation (Casevac). Removal of casualties and medical emergencies from forward areas.
Search and Rescue (SAR). The location and evacuation of people in emergency situations.

Armament
The aircraft can be armed with two M-134 six-barrelled Miniguns and an M-60 machine gun.

That is far too cheap a price. Not to mention that a nation as young as yours would be hard pressed to have excess military supplies of any sort.
