Army Aviation is the division's and corps' most maneuverable force. Army Aviation forces are uniquely capable of rapidly and simultaneously impacting the deep, close, and rear operations of multiple echelons. Army Aviation forces provide ground commanders with land-focused air capabilities that are fundamental to multidomain operations. Army Aviation executes combined arms maneuver as an integral member of the combined arms team. Army Aviation's primary focus on synchronized aviation and ground maneuver (with inherent fires integration) is due to the sacred trust between aviators and ground Soldiers. The Aviation Branch exists to complement ground forces. Army Aviation, as the original cross-domain solution since our inception, is already well-versed in the concept of domain interdependence.
