56th Transportation helicopter support

The 56th Transportation Helicopter Support unit was established in the early 1960s to provide critical aerial resupply and logistical support for ground forces during rapidly evolving military operations. Initially activated during the Vietnam War, the unit played a vital role in moving equipment, ammunition, and personnel to remote and hard-to-reach locations under hostile conditions. Over the decades, the 56th continued to adapt to new technologies and participated in major operations, including humanitarian relief missions and deployments in the Middle East. Renowned for its reliability and versatility, the unit has earned multiple commendations for distinguished service and continues to support both combat and peacetime missions today.
