Every war and operation Australian Army Aviation has flown in
In Korea and Malaya, before the corps existed, Australian artillery officers flew with British air observation post units, and they are recorded as the corps’ lineage. Several entries are peacekeeping or assistance missions with no opponent. Casualty figures of the Bougainville conflict itself are disputed and are not given, and the purpose of the 2006 deployment off Fiji is not stated in the sources. Where a consolidated sortie or loss figure exists in the official record it is given here; where accounts disagree, the range is shown and the disagreement named. Blank cells are blank because no figure could be verified, not because the fighting was small.
From artillery spotters in Korea in 1951 to Chinooks over southern Afghanistan until 2013.

| 朝鮮戦争Australian AOP pilots with 1903 FlightRoyal Australian Artillery pilots (Air Observation Post) | 1951–1953 | 北朝鮮と中国 | Auster AOP | |||
|
Five Australian Army pilots flew artillery observation with the British No. 1903 Air Observation Post Flight. There was no Australian Army aviation unit in Korea. What there was, according to the Fourays history, was a handful of artillery officers attached to the British 1903 AOP Flight between 1951 and 1953, flying light aircraft to direct gunfire. Five Australians served, and one, Captain Joe Luscombe, was killed on 5 June 1952. 結果 Armistice 1953; the experience kept the AOP idea alive in the Army. Aircraft types and sortie numbers for the Australians were not confirmed.

|
Army pilots were deployed to Malaya for security operations. The Fourays history records only that Army pilots went to Malaya in 1953 for security operations, presumably again with British AOP units; numbers, units and dates beyond the year were not found. 結果 No Australian Army aviation unit was formed for the Emergency. Thinly documented; single source.

Reconnaissance, artillery spotting and liaison flying for Australian forces. 161 Reconnaissance Flight was raised from 16 Army Light Aircraft Squadron in mid-1965 under Major Paul Lipscombe and was the Army’s only flying unit in the war; the RAAF flew the troop-lift Iroquois. Fourays has it arriving at Vung Tau on 28 September 1965 and flying its first operational sortie on 22 October; Wikipedia gives 13 September 1965 for the deployment. Over almost seven years the flight’s Cessnas, Sioux, Turbo-Porters, borrowed O-1s and eight leased OH-58As flew more than 72,000 hours. The experience was the argument for forming the Australian Army Aviation Corps in 1968. 結果 The flight was withdrawn in 1972; Wikipedia gives 7 March 1972 for the departure. Dates of arrival differ between sources (13 versus 28 September 1965); raising month June (Wikipedia) or July (Fourays) 1965.

Six Black Hawks in UN white delivered and recovered ballot boxes for the UN-run election. Four years after taking over the RAAF’s helicopters, the Army sent six Black Hawks, painted white with UN markings, to support the UN Transitional Authority in Cambodia during the 1993 election. 結果 Fourays calls it the Black Hawk’s first operational mission; Wikipedia dates it May–July 1993. |

|
Five Black Hawks supported the 1994 peace process; four red-painted UH-1H Iroquois supported the unarmed Truce and Peace Monitoring Groups from May 1998 to August 2001. The Bougainville conflict of 1988–1998 between the Papua New Guinea government and the Bougainville Revolutionary Army ended in a truce monitored by unarmed regional groups. Army aviation took part twice: five Black Hawks in 1994, and from May 1998 to August 2001 four Iroquois painted red. Casualty figures from the conflict itself are disputed and are not given here. 結果 The Army helicopters left in August 2001.

|
Troop lift, reconnaissance and liaison for the Australian-led INTERFET force from September 1999, the UN missions that followed, and Operation Astute from 2006. After the UN-run referendum of 1999, Kiowas from the 1st Aviation Regiment and Black Hawks from the 5th were among the first forces deployed with INTERFET in September 1999, the Kiowa’s first operational deployment since its introduction, long after its planned retirement date. Black Hawks stayed with the UN missions to 2006, and when unrest broke out in 2006 more Black Hawks and Kiowas returned under Operation Astute. 結果 Kiowas finally left in 2008. |

Four Iroquois supported the police-led assistance mission. Four Iroquois deployed with the Australian-led RAMSI intervention in 2003 and were withdrawn in October that year. 結果 Withdrawn in October 2003. Black Hawks returned to support the March 2019 elections (Wikipedia). Single source for the 2003 detachment. |

Three CH-47D Chinooks supported Australian special forces during the invasion of Iraq. Australia’s contribution to the 2003 invasion included a special forces task group; three Chinooks from C Squadron, 5th Aviation Regiment, deployed to the Middle East to support it. 結果 Wikipedia dates the deployment March–May 2003. |

|
A two-Chinook detachment flew heavy lift for ISAF on successive rotations; Shadow drones flew surveillance from May 2012. The Army’s longest war deployment since Vietnam was flown by just two Chinooks at a time, under ISAF control in southern Afghanistan between 2006 and 2013. One crashed in Zabul Province on 30 May 2011, killing Lieutenant Marcus Case, a passenger; a second was destroyed in a hard landing in Kandahar Province on 22 June 2012. From May 2012 the artillery’s Shadow 200 unmanned aircraft also flew in the country. 結果 Final rotation ended in September 2013 (Wikipedia, 5th Aviation Regiment). Hours, sorties and loads not published.

Black Hawks embarked in HMAS Kanimbla for a deployment to Fiji in late 2006. Fourays records a Black Hawk deployment to Fiji in late 2006. On 29 November 2006 Black Hawk 221 crashed while landing on HMAS Kanimbla and sank in international waters. The inquiry that followed is credited by Wikipedia with prompting the formation of the 6th Aviation Regiment for special operations aviation. 結果 The board of inquiry into the crash led to the raising of the 6th Aviation Regiment on 1 March 2008 (Wikipedia). The operation name and the purpose of the deployment were not given in the sources checked.
