The 56th Aviation Company was a United States Army aviation unit activated during the Vietnam War era. It was best known for its role in aerial surveillance and reconnaissance missions, primarily operating the OV-1 Mohawk aircraft. The company provided vital intelligence and support to ground forces throughout its deployment in Southeast Asia. After several years of distinguished service, the unit was eventually inactivated as part of Army aviation restructuring in the post-Vietnam period.
