Why do soldiers have to destroy the crashed helicopter when they secure the crash site?

Let’s say a Blackhawk helicopter was shot down and a search and rescue military unit was sent out to secure the site. Once they’re done looking for survivors and everything, why is destroying the crashed helicopter an objective? Just a question I’ve been very curious to know.
lol I thought there might be some other story to it, but I guess that’s it. Thanks guys :D

He’s in the Navy and currently on a ship in the Persian Gulf. I wanna send him some food/drinks that they don’t have access to on the ship out there but I don’t know what he has or doesn’t have and I want this to be a surprise!! Also are there any rules about what I cannot send (I’m guessing **** and booze is out of the question!!)? And any tips on how to mail it safely and securely?? I’ve heard that a lot of soldiers and sailors get moldy nastiness instead of care packages because things get wet, etc. Trying to prevent that…
Any tips are very appreciated!!!
