101st Aviation Battalion, 5th

The 101st Aviation Battalion was originally constituted as part of the 5th Infantry Division during the buildup of U.S. Army aviation assets in the post-World War II era. Activated in the 1960s, the battalion provided critical aviation support, including troop transport and reconnaissance, during the Vietnam War, where it contributed to several major operations. Following Vietnam, the 101st Aviation Battalion continued to advance Army aviation tactics and technology, participating in training exercises and providing support during peacetime missions. Over time, the battalion underwent several reorganizations as part of the Army's evolving force structure, maintaining its legacy of adaptability and excellence in aviation support.
