During the Vietnam War, the 1st Cavalry Division, known as "The First Team," was a United States Army unit that played a significant role in the conflict. The division had a storied history, dating back to its establishment in 1921 as a horse cavalry unit.The 1st Cavalry Division was originally a conventional infantry division, but it was converted into an airmobile division in 1965 for its deployment to Vietnam. This conversion marked a significant change in the division's tactics and capabilities, as it became one of the first divisions to utilize helicopters extensively for combat operations.As an airmobile division, the 1st Cavalry Division utilized helicopters to rapidly move troops and supplies, conduct air assault operations, and provide close air support. This allowed the division to project its combat power quickly and effectively throughout its area of operations.The division's soldiers fought in various major battles and operations during the Vietnam War. Notable engagements include the Battle of Ia Drang in 1965, where the division's units clashed with North Vietnamese Army forces in fierce combat. The division was also involved in the Tet Offensive in 1968, during which it played a crucial role in the defense of the city of Hue.The 1st Cavalry Division operated in several areas of South Vietnam, including the Central Highlands, the Iron Triangle, and the border regions near Cambodia and Laos. Its soldiers conducted a wide range of operations, including search and destroy missions, reconnaissance patrols, and securing key areas.
