The AAG conducts military air operations and is responsible for doctrine, manning and configuration for all aviation resources in the Army.

The first aircraft in the army aviation unit were two Bell 205 helicopters gifted by the Iranian government in 1978.

Three Bell 206 L4 helicopters and one Cessna 208 Caravan were procured later to strengthen the Aviation Group.

Members from all the corps of Bangladesh Army can join this unit with proper qualification and training.

Recently six Diamond DA40 aircraft have been procured to slowly phase out the old Cessna 152s and increase training facilities.

Previously, personnel from Bangladesh Air Force did all the maintenance task of army aviation.

Bangladesh government has adopted a total restructuring plan for the Army Aviation Group.
