On 12 April 1983, the Department of the Army established Aviation as its Twenty Second Officer Branch. This action placed all aviation resources and related personnel assets under the proponency of the Aviation Center at Fort Rucker, Alabama. The Medical Service Corps aviators and the Air Ambulance units within the Army structure were excluded from this consolidation. This paper deals with the background and events leading to that decision and outlines some proposed and recommended programs to keep AMEDD aviators current and in partnership with the future of Army aviation. The paper discusses the force structure status and the personnel management and professional development implications for the AMEDD aviators immediate future.
