Unit History
The 57th AHC was reorganized from an Airmobile Fixed Wing Company to an Assault Helicopter Company. October 1967 saw the 57th deployed to Vietnam and by the end of December it was operating from its new home at Kontum in Northwest II Corps. The 57th's primary mission was to provide tactical air mobility of combat troops, supplies, equipment, and aerial fire support within the II Corps area. Various units who received support from the 57th include the 5th Special Forces Group, (ABN), 4th Infantry Division, 1st Field Forces, and MACV and ARVN units. Upon arriving at Kontum, the 57th set up camp at the airfield formerly used by the 1st Cav. The construction of permanent structures was foremost in everyones's mind and the nickname of "Rocket City" given to Kontum gave everybody incentive to build bunkers and a strong defensive perimeter. During the seige of Dak To, in November 1967, the 57th proved itself to be combat ready and capable of handling any mission assigned to it.
