Historical Context:
Air Cavalry tactics revolutionized warfare during the Vietnam War. With the introduction of the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile), U.S. forces gained the unprecedented ability to move troops anywhere at any time. The UH-1 “Huey” became the symbol of this new era—delivering soldiers into combat, evacuating casualties, and providing close air support. The Air Cavalry Troop represents this leap in mobility and tactical innovation, capturing the daring spirit and adaptability that defined American operations in Vietnam.
