The Army Aviation Brigade was the Italian Army's aviation brigade. Four of the army's six aviation regiments were part of the brigade, while two aviation regiments were part of the Airmobile Brigade "Friuli". On 1 October 2023 the brigade was merged into the Airmobile Brigade "Friuli".[1]
The unit was founded in 2001 as Air Cavalry Grouping with the 1st Air Cavalry Regiment "Antares", 2nd Air Cavalry Regiment "Sirio", 4th Air Cavalry Regiment "Altair", 28th Squadrons Group "Tucano", and the Squadrons Group So.A.T.C.C. "Dragone" (Surveillance, Target Acquisition, Signals, Command and Control Group).[2]

On 10 November 2014 the 26th Squadrons Group "Giove" left the 1st Army Aviation Regiment "Antares" and was reorganized as 3rd Special Operations Helicopter Regiment "Aldebaran" on the same day.[3]
