What's the difference between these types of units?
When I was in the Army, I was in an attack helicopter battalion. In the hangar next to ours was an air cavalry unit. Both had the same types of aircraft and our personnel had the same training in the same specialties. What was the main difference between the two? Besides the fact that we were divided into companies and they were divided into "troops".
I don't know why I didn't ask this question when I was in.

Probably just names and heritage. The Aviation Brigade for the 1st Cavalry Div is called Air Cav even though on MTOE it is the same organization and equipment as any other aviation brigade in a heavy division.
