A Season for Change
Welcome to our annual Army Aviation Magazine “Blue Book” issue – a truly in-depth snapshot of our Branch from multi-component battalions and combat aviation brigades to National Guard Bureau and Department of the Army (DA) level. Our issue also includes contact information for Portfolio Acquisition Executives, as well as Project Managers and Assistant Project Managers. Every year brings change to Army Aviation leadership, and this year is no exception.

It’s hard to believe that summer is already here! Early June 2026 found the National Executive Group (NEG), consisting of myself, Senior VP Tim Edens, Treasurer Todd Royar and Secretary Ray Davis, along with VP Membership Liz Martin and VP Chapters John Broam in Connecticut at the AAAA National Headquarters.

We had enjoyable and productive sessions, evaluating the last...

Drone warfare, counter-drones, MV-75 Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft, (FLRAA), Artificial Intelligence, cyber, reorganization of our Army Aviation formations including the elimination of our Cavalry Squadrons, Syria, Venezuela, Iran and, of course, Ukraine are all shaping our Branch and the Army itself.

Learn MoreContinuing to Strengthen Army Aviation
As we approach the 2026 AAAA Warfighter Summit next month and the halfway point of my tenure as your President, I am reflecting on three amazing organizations that protect our legacy and invest in our future. I know that at times I have taken them for granted. Two of the three you know very well. They are the US Army Aviation Museum at Fort Rucker, AL, and the AAAA Scholarship Foundation. Founded in 1956, the Museum preserves our legacy through education and displays and hosts over 100,000 visitors each year. The AAAA Scholarship Foundation Inc. was founded in 1963 as...
