At its inception, the 134th Assault Helicopter Company was formed to provide rapid aerial mobility and tactical support during the Vietnam War. Activated in the 1967, the unit became an integral part of U.S. Army aviation operations, deploying UH-1
Hueyhelicopters to transport troops, deliver supplies, and conduct air assault missions in some of the most challenging terrain and combat conditions of the conflict. Operating primarily out of Phu Hiep and later Tuy Hoa, the 134th earned a reputation for precision, courage, and resilience. Pilots, crew chiefs, and door gunners worked in close coordination with ground forces, often flying into hostile zones under fire to extract wounded personnel or reinforce embattled units. Their call sign, Demonsfor slicks and Devilsfor gunships, became synonymous with reliability and bravery in the field. Throughout its service, the company faced intense operational demands and high-risk missions, yet its members forged strong bonds and upheld a spirit of dedication that continues to be remembered by veterans and historians alike. The legacy of the 134th Assault Helicopter Company stands as a testament to the valor and sacrifice of those who served within its ranks." Last updated: Sunday September 7th, 2025
