191st ATC Company

The 191st Aviation Company (Air Traffic Control), commonly known as the 191st ATC Company, was constituted during the Vietnam War era to provide critical air traffic control services in combat zones. Activated in the mid-1960s, the unit was deployed to the Republic of Vietnam, where its personnel managed and coordinated aircraft operations at several key airfields and forward operating bases. The 191st ATC Company played a vital role in ensuring the safe and efficient movement of both rotary and fixed-wing aircraft, often under challenging and hostile conditions. After distinguished service, the unit was eventually inactivated as U.S. involvement in Vietnam drew down, leaving a legacy of professionalism and support to Army aviation operations.
