The move comes just months after the raising of a new Aviation Brigade at Missamari in Assam.
The Army Aviation Brigade at Missamari was raised in March this year to enable better command and control of aviation resources.
The Brigade operates the Cheetah and Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH) Dhruv utility helicopters, Rudra weaponsied ALH and Heron-I UAVs.
