The Army's 21st Century Aviation Brigade In a Light Division

Abstract

This research project expresses concern over the future of Army Aviation. There are many changes that are ongoing within the Army today. Army Aviation needs to be proactive and recommend some changes to the way it does business and the way it should look in the years to come to support the Army's future. Army Aviation is and will be supporting the Chief of Staff of the Army's (CSA) new vision for the Army. while there is much experimentation ongoing, as well as numerous proposals for the way the structure of the Army will look in the future, there is nothing substantial published on what the future of Army Aviation should be to support the CSA's vision. This project will address some of the issues and concerns of future Army Aviation operations and structure, and will propose some recommendations for the way Army Aviation should look in the not too distant future. Currently, most of the information concerning changes to Army Aviation is sensitive in nature so the majority of this paper will contain the author's thoughts and recommendations.
