164th Combat Aviation Group

The 164th Combat Aviation Group was a United States Army aviation unit activated during the Vietnam War. Organized in 1968, the group played a crucial role in providing helicopter support, including troop transport, resupply, and aerial reconnaissance throughout South Vietnam. The 164th managed several aviation battalions and was instrumental in major operations such as Lam Son 719, supporting both American and Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) forces. The unit earned commendations for its performance under fire and was inactivated following the reduction of U.S. forces in Vietnam in the early 1970s.
