The education taking place within its classrooms and simulators provides a starting point for ongoing training to keep helicopters combat ready and achieve strategic success.

Army Aviation Training began in 1942 at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, with light, fixed-wing airplanes; helicopters were introduced into the inventory in the late 1940s.

In 2008, USAALS became the first TRADOC School to achieve an accreditation of Training Institute of Excellence.

The 128th Aviation Brigade has a short, yet courageous, lineage, earning its motto "Born Under Fire" by fighting as a provisional unit during Operation Just Cause in December 1989.

The Brigade was awarded the Armed Forces Expedition - Panama campaign streamer.
