In nearly every major conflict and operation since World War II, Army aviation has been assigned missions in the maritime environment, either basing off naval vessels for land attack or operating from ships for sustained overwater missions. In recent years, the nature and complexity of those missions have changed dramatically, dictating that aviation units complete specialized preparatory and sustainment training. Recent worldwide deployments have shown that Army aviation has a versatile combination of equipment sophistication, deployability, and personnel to accomplish specific strategic missions that require operations in the maritime environment.
