Aviation units, although they belong to one of the newer branches of the Army, have compiled an impressive record of achievement. From the organization of the earliest separate units in the Korean War era through an outstanding record in Vietnam and the recent achievement of independent branch status, Army aviation has become an integral part of today' combined arms doctrine. The lineages, honors, and heraldic items in this volume should increase the historical awareness of aviation soldiers and enhance their pride in their units. A positive sense of unit identity and enthusiasm is an intangible but significant factor in successful military organizations. This volume will contribute to the esprit de corps of Army aviation units.
