Air Cavalry. Central Highlands. Coastal Plains. The 5/7th Cav Mission.
The 5th Battalion, 7th Cavalry was part of the 1st Air Cavalry Division — the Army's first airmobile division, which revolutionized battlefield mobility by combining helicopter assault with the firepower and aggressiveness of the cavalry tradition. Operating in the Central Highlands and coastal plains of Vietnam, the 5/7th Cav conducted air assault operations, reconnaissance in force, and combat operations against North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong forces in some of the war's most demanding terrain. The Garryowen standard of the 7th Cavalry Regiment — formed in 1866 and named for the Irish air adopted as its march tune — flew over every 5/7th Cav operation in Vietnam.
