In 1965, as the U.S. Army’s involvement in Vietnam grew deeper, the ubiquitous use of the helicopter in the new “frontless” war became apparent. The Army had to have a means to maintain tactical and administrative control over all of its divisional and non-divisional aviation assets in country. It did this with the creation of the 1st Aviation Brigade, the Golden Hawks.
