Who We Are
The Tennessee Valley Chapter of the Army Aviation Association of America, based in Huntsville, Alabama, serves the greater Tennessee Valley region that includes northern Alabama and southern Tennessee. As the largest chapter in the AAAA network with 2,262 members, the chapter plays a major role in supporting Army aviation personnel, advancing aviation capability, and strengthening connections between military and commercial aviation partners.
Its close relationship with Redstone Arsenal, Army Materiel Command, CPE Aviation, Future Vertical Lift enterprise, and NASA highlights its importance to the Army aviation mission and the continued development of advanced technologies.
Supporting Our Community
The chapter provides a strong support network for active duty, reserve, and National Guard aviation personnel along with veterans and retirees. It works to build and maintain ties between aviation units and their surrounding communities, making sure service members and their families have access to resources that matter.
Through social events, professional development opportunities, and community outreach, the chapter promotes connection, understanding, and support for Army aviators and the challenges they face.
