HHC 269th Combat Aviation Battalion

The Headquarters and Headquarters Company (HHC), 269th Combat Aviation Battalion was constituted during the Vietnam War as part of the U.S. Army’s rapid expansion of aviation assets. Activated in 1966, the battalion provided command, control, and support for various aviation companies operating in the III and IV Corps Tactical Zones of South Vietnam. HHC 269th managed helicopter assault, reconnaissance, and logistical missions, playing a critical role in supporting ground operations and troop mobility during major campaigns such as the Tet Offensive. After several years of distinguished service, the battalion was inactivated following the reduction of U.S. forces in Vietnam.
