282nd AST

The 282nd Aviation Support Battalion (282nd ASB) is a key sustainment unit within the U.S. Army, providing aviation maintenance, logistical, and support services to aviation brigades. Activated in the early 2000s as part of the Army's modular force restructuring, the 282nd ASB has supported multiple deployments, including operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, where it ensured the operational readiness of rotary-wing aircraft and equipment. The battalion is typically assigned to the 82nd Combat Aviation Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division, and is based at Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg), North Carolina. Over the years, the 282nd ASB has earned recognition for its excellence in supporting complex air assault and airborne operations, contributing significantly to the Army’s global mission.
