Template:Use American English Template:Use dmy dates This is a list of United States Army aircraft battalions. The aviation battalions in the US Army are generally attached to divisions, corps, and armies and mostly consist of helicopters, both attack and reconnaissance. The helicopter battalions are often grouped into aviation brigades. There are also a few fixed-wing aircraft battalions, consisting of training aircraft, Beechcraft RC-12 Guardrail operational aircraft, and Beechcraft C-12 Huron / Cessna UC-35 transports for VIP personnel. Some are Air National Guard units.[1]
Separate aviation companies fought in the Vietnam War; aviation battalions fought in Vietnam. The Aviation Branch was established in 1984.[2] Since that date aviation battalions have fought in the Gulf War of 1991; served in peace support operations in Bosnia and Kosovo; fought in the War in Afghanistan (2001-2021); and in the Iraq War (US phase 2003–2011) and against ISIL in Operation Inherent Resolve, as well as helping garrison the Korean Cease-Fire Line.
