Description: This Vietnam war in-country machine embroidered patch measures 3.25" by 3.25", used condition. A valuable addition to your collection of Vietnam war memorabilia items. The 57th Aviation Company (AHC) arrived in Vietnam in early October 1967, in time to participate in the Battle of Dak To, and the bloody battle for the infamous Hill 875 of 173rd Airborne Brigade fame. Initially stationed in the Central Highlands city of Kontum, the 57th flew missions in support of Northern II Corps area. Flights in support of the 24th Special Tactical Zone (STZ), MACV, Special Forces Camps, ARVN II Corps, and the 4th Infantry Division in the Dak To area were the normal day's assignments. In January 1968, the 57th began preparations for assuming the FOB II Special Forces mission from the 119th AHC, a normal rotation that occurred every 60 days within the units of the 52nd Combat Aviation Battalion. The 57th AHC served in Viet Nam from October 1967 through March 1973, and was the last United States Combat Helicopter unit to leave Vietnam. It was also the largest with three slick platoons, each having eleven lightly armed UH-1 Hueys, and a full complement of eight heavily armed AH1G Cobra gunships.
