The 175th Attack Helicopter Company, known as the "Outlaws," was a distinguished United States Army aviation unit that served during the Vietnam War. Activated in 1966, the company was equipped with UH-1 Iroquois (Huey) helicopters and later transitioned to AH-1 Cobra gunships as the war progressed. The 175th provided critical air assault, close air support, and reconnaissance missions, often operating in high-risk environments across the Mekong Delta and other contested regions. Renowned for their tenacity and effectiveness, the Outlaws played a vital role in supporting ground operations and extracting troops under fire, earning numerous commendations for their service.
