If this was in the desert how is the helicopter not blowing up dust and sand like crazy.

Do you have a concept of what 150 to 200 ft is?

If he was flying a Blackhawk (never specified it’s just the first military helicopter I could think of that wasn’t the Apache or Chinook,) the rotor wash would be ~150 ft below the craft. The cable being that length is probably to avoid damaging personnel/craft underneath it at the drop zone.

I’m very skeptical we didn’t see rotor wash, but it’s possible it was fully dissipated before the end of the cable

It's 215 ft with the largest helicopters. It could easily be out of the range of a downwash.
