context_page_description: The 159th Combat Aviation Brigade formerly supported the 101st Airborne Division, and was stationed at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. While active, 159th CAB made the 101st Airborne Division the only US Army Division with two organic aviation brigades, and currently the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade is the only CAB supporting the unit at Fort Campbell. The 159th Combat Aviation Brigade was inactivated on 15 May 2015.
  The lineage of the 159th Aviation Brigade is separate from that of the Vietnam-era 159th Aviation Battalion and the later 159th Aviation Regiment.
context_section_description: Following its re-designation, the 159th CAB deployed again to Iraq in 2005. The 159th Combat Aviation Brigade worked in direct support of Multinational Corps-Iraq by providing rotary-wing helicopter support to nearly every unit in Iraq.
