The Army Air Assault Badge is awarded to members of the United States Army who successfully complete the Air Assault School training. This badge signifies a soldier's proficiency in air assault operations, including helicopter insertion and extraction, rappelling, and sling load operations.
The Air Assault Badge was created in 1974, initially awarded to soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division, known as the "Screaming Eagles" and now awarded to qualified soldiers across the Army who complete Air Assault School.
