Army Aviation, specifically rotary wing and unmanned aerial systems (UAS) are extremely effective in the counter insurgency (COIN) environment. Army Aviation serves as a combat multiplier by providing intelligence, precision fires, mobility to the force, and a presence over the battlefield. The correct organizational template of personnel, airframes, and maintenance within the combat Aviation Brigades is essential to our continued success in the COIN environment. This essay describes the capabilities, structure, employment of aircraft types, and explores the overall effectiveness of aviation operations in support of COIN. In order to continue aviation's success in COIN the Army must complete transformation of all combat aviation brigades to the medium design and recapitalize the attrition in airframes over the last eight years of war.
