The 110th Aviation Brigade, of the United States Army, is responsible for overseeing all initial entry flight training at the United States Army Aviation Center of Excellence in Fort Novosel, Alabama. The aviation brigade operates an aircraft fleet of over 500 helicopters across five airfields to train nearly 2000 Army aviators each year, earning the distinction of being acknowledged as the largest military helicopter training organization in the world.^[5] It consists of a Headquarters, an academics section, a night vision device section, four subordinate aviation battalions, and an Army Reserve Augmentation Brigade Headquarters:

• 1st Battalion, 11th Aviation Regiment (Air Traffic Control)
• 1st Battalion, 14th Aviation Regiment, Hanchey Army Heliport (AH-64D/E)
• 1st Battalion, 212th Aviation Regiment, Lowe Army Heliport and Shell Army Heliport (UH-60M)
• 1st Battalion, 223rd Aviation Regiment, Cairns Army Airfield and Knox Army Heliport (UH-72) & (CH-47F)

The 10th Aviation Group was activated on 30 June 1965 and evolved from the 10th Air Transport Brigade (Test). It supported the 11th Airborne Division (Air Assault). When the 11th was disbanded, the 10th remained at Fort Benning, Ga., to provide all aspects of training for Aviation companies preparing to deploy to Vietnam. The 10th Aviation Group was inactivated and redesignated back to the 10th Aviation Group in 2004. On 1 March 2005, the 10th Aviation Group was redesignated as the 110th Aviation Brigade. The Aviation Training Brigade at Fort Novosel assumed this unit designation and lineage on the same day. The mission of the 110th is to provide the Army and allied forces with professionally trained Aviators and non-rated crew members through planning, coordinating, and executing formal flight instruction at the undergraduate and graduate level.^[6]

The brigade also provides crash rescue and air ambulance support to USAACE and surrounding communities and serves as the Department of the Army Night Vision Device Training and Operations Staff Agency.^[6]
