Building work started at Le Bourget-du-Lac in 1934 but was not complete by the outbreak of war in 1939. Following several military identities, the base became BE 725 in 1952 and then BA 725 in 1964.
Military helicopter training began in 1955 and continued until Jun 1985, when the training school was closed, in a general contraction of military activity in France.
