Current Title: | Aviación del Ejército Equatoriana |
Title in English: | Ecuadorian Army Aviation |
Abbreviation: | AEE |
Narrative Summary:
The aviation element of the
Army (Ejército) was formed in 1954 originally named Servicio Aéreo del Ejército
(SAE). It was renamed Aviación del Ejército Equatorina (AEE) in 1978. From 1981 onward the
flying elements were concentrated in an aviation brigade, effectively
transforming the army aviation into an operational brigade within the army
structure. Honouring the army aviation's role in the Paquisha conflict in 1981,
the unit was renamed Brigada de Aviación del Ejército No.15 "Paquisha"
on July, 1 1987. Finally,
in 1996 the AEE gained the status of a full arm within the army recognising its
vital role in the Cenepa conflict of 1995.
