235th AHC

The 235th Assault Helicopter Company (AHC), known as the "Delta Devils," was activated during the Vietnam War and served from 1966 to 1972. Based primarily at Bear Cat and later at Camp Long Thanh North, the unit provided critical air mobility, troop transport, and close air support for U.S. and allied forces in the Mekong Delta region. Flying UH-1 "Huey" helicopters, the 235th AHC played a crucial role in numerous combat assaults, medevac missions, and resupply operations under challenging conditions. The company was highly respected for its courage and professionalism, and its members earned numerous commendations before the unit was inactivated following U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam.
