The purpose of this thesis is to review the evolution of aviation organization within the Army division and to appraise the ROAD aviation organization. The review begins with a discussion of circumstances in 1942 which led to the authorization of light aircraft for field artillery units. Logistical as well as operational aspects are included in the review. It was found that the organization of aviation and concepts of operations has varied from one of decentralized control to that of centralized control. The appraisal of the ROAD division included the following considerations: (1) responsiveness to the commander's need measured in time, (2) efficiency measured in utilization of available aircraft, (3) operational capability of pilots, (4) division aviation special staff officer responsibilities, and (5) organization and direct support maintenance.
