It is November 1st, 1968, and you are stationed at Agana Airfield as part of the 1st Air Cavalry Brigade “Air Cav”. You will be operating the UH-1H “Huey”, the backbone of rotary-wing operations during the Vietnam War. Your in-country taskings include: Combat Assaults inserting rifle platoons into hot Landing Zones (LZs), slick runs for troop lift, extractions under fire, escort duties for convoys and logistics elements, resupply of forward firebases, low-level patrols along contested routes, and Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) to pull downed aviators out of hostile territory. Expect contested airspace, enemy small arms and AAA fire, and the constant challenge of tight LZs in rough terrain. Maintain discipline, stay on station, and remember: you are the lifeline for the men on the ground.
