The Army Aviation, from pre-independence days is merited for being the most decorated arm of the Indian army. With a handful and motivated young and motivated officers , it has earned many a laurels in the face of the enemy.
Befittingly 666 & 663 AA Sqn (R&O) were awarded unit citation for their unflinching & exemplary professional dedication towards mission accomplishment.
The most recent example is the Kargil conflict where the alert pilots of the Aviation Corps were instrumental in discerning the Pakistani intrusion. During this conflict 666 Army Aviation Squadron operating Ex-Leh was awarded the battle honour of ‘KARGIL’ for its gallantry contribution in providing close aviation support to ground troops in all their operations.
Recent wars have demonstrated that the tactical battlefield belongs to helicopters. The soldiers in air are the eyes and ears of the ground forces and act as saviors in the dynamic and synergized environment of today’s battle field. Armies all over the world have realized the importance of aviation within the Army for close support of ground forces.
