The 57th Medical Detachment, also known as "Dust Off," was a key unit in the Vietnam War, first arriving in Vietnam in 1962 and serving until 1973. It was the first unit to use the UH-1 Huey helicopter for aeromedical evacuation and played a crucial role in providing medical support to ground troops. The detachment evacuated nearly 78,000 patients during its service, contributing to the war's low mortality rate. The unit's callsign, "Dust Off," became synonymous with Army aeromedical evacuation units, and it was officially inactivated in January 2007.
