122nd Aviation Battalion

The 122nd Aviation Battalion was constituted in the United States Army during the Vietnam War era, primarily to provide aerial support and rotary-wing aviation capabilities. Initially organized under the 122nd Aviation Company, the battalion was activated and deployed to support both combat and logistical operations, including troop transport, medical evacuation, and reconnaissance missions. Throughout its service, the 122nd Aviation Battalion played a crucial role in enhancing the mobility and effectiveness of ground forces by leveraging its fleet of utility and cargo helicopters. After its service in Southeast Asia, the unit underwent various reorganizations and continued to serve as part of the Army’s aviation assets, supporting both training and operational missions in subsequent decades.
