Army Aviation Caucus

"Giving Army Aviation a Voice on Capitol Hill"

Mission:

To create a forum where Members, staff, and Army leaders can bring awareness and support to the Army Aviation Sector.

 

Approach:

Members of the Caucus will work together to strengthen the Army Aviation sector. The Caucus will hold Member and staff briefings with key Army Aviation offices to provide detailed insight into the capabilities and needs.

Upcoming work for the Army Aviation Caucus includes ensuring that Congress stays focused on military assets and to make certain that those assets are reset on returning from the field. Additionally, the Caucus will work to continue funding for the new armed scout helicopter and carry on funding the modernization of our fleet and the Joint Multi-Role helicopter.
