The 57th’s primary mission was to provide tactical air mobility for combat troops, supplies, and equipment, and to deliver aerial fire support throughout the II Corps area. Units supported included the \u003cstrong\u003e5th Special Forces Group (Airborne)\u003c\/strong\u003e, the \u003cstrong\u003e4th Infantry Division\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e1st Field Forces\u003c\/strong\u003e, and various \u003cstrong\u003eMACV and ARVN\u003c\/strong\u003e units.
