184th Recon Airplane Company

The 184th Recon Airplane Company was a United States Army aviation unit activated during the Vietnam War. Organized in 1966, the company was equipped primarily with the O-1 Bird Dog aircraft, conducting aerial reconnaissance, artillery spotting, and observation missions. Deployed to Vietnam, the 184th supported ground operations by providing vital intelligence, directing fire missions, and performing courier and liaison duties. The unit played a crucial role in enhancing battlefield awareness before being inactivated as the Army reduced its aviation presence in Southeast Asia.
