| Summary/Abstract |
Established in 1986, the Army Aviation Corps (AAC) is one of the youngest Corps in the Indian Army. It has operated over all types of terrain from deserts plains, forests and high mountains to perpetually frozen battlefields. Army aviators fly several missions every day to support forces deployed in high altitude areas. Some of the missions are dedicated to casualty evacuation and routine operations for the AAC. Day in and day out, the AAC also perform a wide range of tasks such as ferrying soldiers to and from the battlefield. Army aviators thus work as a force multiplier by providing rapid movement of men and material at short notice. The AAC has taken part in a number of UN missions and several disaster relief operations in India.
