The company operated throughout the Central Highlands of Vietnam during the war, from arrival in September 1962 until deactivation in November 1970.

The unit was attacked twice by People's Army of Vietnam sappers while at Camp Radcliff, once in each year.

The Company was equipped with 16 to 20 lightly armed UH-1D "slick" troopships, and approximately 8 Huey UH-1C model gunships.

Due to high density-altitudes in the unit’s Central Highlands area of operations, by 1969 all UH-1Ds were upgraded to the more-powerful UH-1H aircraft.

The total company strength of approximately 225 included 50 to 60 pilots and an equal number of crewmembers, plus field maintenance and other critical support personnel.
