AVN C3 Reserve Component (RC) Practice Test

This item tests knowing the standard AV Brigade types in Army aviation and which one doesn’t belong.

Combat Aviation Brigade, Expeditionary Combat Aviation Brigade, and Theater Aviation Brigade are the recognized formations that provide rotary-wing aviation support at different command echelons—CABs operate with divisions to deliver close air support, lift, and mobility; ECABs are modular, expeditionary units designed to deploy rapidly for operational campaigns; TABs support aviation needs at the theater level across a geographic area. An Airlift Brigade, however, isn’t a formal category of AV Brigades in the doctrine the exam uses. Airlift capabilities exist within aviation units and broader mobility structures, but there isn’t a stand-alone “Airlift Brigade” type among AV Brigades.
