132nd AHSC

The 132nd Aviation Helicopter Support Company (AHSC) was activated in the late 1960s to provide critical helicopter maintenance and logistical support to combat aviation units during the Vietnam War. Stationed primarily in South Vietnam, the 132nd AHSC ensured the operational readiness of various helicopter platforms, notably the UH-1 Huey and CH-47 Chinook, by performing repairs, overhauls, and rapid part replacements under challenging field conditions. The company’s efforts were vital in sustaining air mobility operations, casualty evacuations, and resupply missions across difficult terrain. After the war, the unit was deactivated as part of the Army’s postwar restructuring.
