The Official Army Air Corps (AAC) Website

OUR ROLE
Army Air Corps soldiers have been wearing the blue beret with pride since 1957. They use Army aircraft, such as the Apache attack helicopter, to deliver hard-hitting and effective support to ground forces during the key stages of battle.

The AAC’s role also includes reconnaissance. From high above the action, they observe enemy forces and pass information to troops on the ground.

This fearsome combination of manoeuvrability and firepower makes the AAC one of the most potent of the Army’s combat arms.
