281st AHC

The 281st Assault Helicopter Company (AHC), known as the "Intruders," was activated in 1966 and served with distinction during the Vietnam War. As one of the first helicopter units to support covert and special operations, the 281st AHC was closely associated with Project Delta, providing critical air mobility, insertion, extraction, and fire support for elite reconnaissance teams. Operating UH-1 "Huey" helicopters, the company conducted hazardous missions deep in enemy territory, often under intense fire. The bravery and effectiveness of the 281st AHC earned it multiple unit commendations and a lasting legacy in Army aviation history.
