For some Army Reserve Soldiers, their mission extends beyond land operations. Every day Soldiers take to the skies with careers in aviation and aerial defense. Army Reserve crew members perform a multitude of missions, including transporting troops and personnel, distributing supplies and equipment, directing search and rescue missions, providing combat support, and more in support of the Army’s mission here in the United States and around the world. This National Aviation Week, the Army Reserve commemorates the achievements and innovations of Soldiers in this field.

The Army Reserve has a range of opportunities in the aviation community. Most notably, Army pilots are responsible for flying fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and drones. However, careers in Army aviation also include aviation operations specialist, air traffic control, aircraft electricians, helicopter mechanics, aircraft structural repair, and flight paramedics.

It takes a team of highly specialized professionals to make aviation missions successful. The skills and hands-on training Soldiers gain in an Army aviation and aerial defense career can’t be matched anywhere else. Soldiers help defend the nation from above, while also exploring the skies and working with some of the most advanced machines in the world.

Join U.S. Army Reserve Command Aviation Directorate, Fixed Wing Division Chief, Lieutenant Colonel Amy Buck as she discusses the importance of celebrating National Aviation Week and the unique opportunities the Army Reserve offers to Soldiers serving in the aviation community.
