The 66th Theater Aviation Command was an aviation command of the Washington Army National Guard, previously designated as an aviation brigade. It included 1-168th General Support Aviation Battalion. It may also have comprised two aviation brigades (the 185th Aviation Brigade (MS ARNG) and the 449th Aviation Brigade (NC ARNG)) and the 204th Theater Aviation Operations Group.[2]

The 185th Aviation Brigade comprises the 3-135 Aviation, 1-169 Aviation, 1-171 Aviation, and the 351st Aviation Support Battalion.[3]

The 449th Aviation Brigade includes the 1-126 Aviation and the 1-244 Aviation.[4]

Due to Army force restructuring decisions, the 66th deactivated its headquarters in 2017 and its subordinate aviation units were task organized under other Army National Guard Aviation headquarters.
