834 AGS : 20th SOS

The 834th Airlift Group Support (AGS) was an important support unit within the U.S. Air Force, notably linked to special operations during the Vietnam War. The 20th Special Operations Squadron (SOS), known as the "Green Hornets," operated under the 834 AGS umbrella and played a crucial role in unconventional warfare, flying UH-1P "Huey" and CH-3 "Jolly Green Giant" helicopters. The 20th SOS conducted covert insertions, extractions, and resupply missions for MACV-SOG teams and allied forces across Southeast Asia from 1965 onward. Their daring operations earned the unit numerous commendations and cemented their legacy as a vital asset in U.S. Air Force special operations history.
