My husband who knows military aircraft very well says the tanks on the bottom sides of the black hawk helicopters (to me they look like torpedos, LOL) are called "drop tanks" which are extended range fuel tanks, meaning these helicopters are equipped to carry additional fuel for a long-distance flight. Hmm...Gitmo perhaps?
