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.
