In September 1989 at Fort Hood, Texas, 2nd Battalion, 227th Aviation began its reconstitution as part of the Apache Training Brigade.
On 17 July 1990, the battalion deployed as a unit to its current home of Hanau, Germany, where it was again assigned to the 3rd Armored Division.
The battalion flew numerous combat missions during the campaign, and was instrumental in the success of 3rd Armored Division's attack on Kuwait.
The battalion served with great distinction in South West Asia, until its redeployment to Germany on 17 May 1991 ending the unit's most recent participation in combat.
Missions performed ranged from multi-national general support and airborne command & control, to air movement operations.
