The call sign for the unit was Rough Riders. A different numerical designation and slight change in equipment could not dispel the pride, esprit de corps, and we try harder attitude that had existed in the old 187^th Aviation Company. The unit accepted its next mission of preparing for movement to Vietnam. After many hours of planning and preparation, the 134^th departed Fort Benning in mid-December 1965 and flew 10,000 miles via the Pacific route to Vietnam, coming into Vung Tau on the tail of a Typhoon, then on to its final destination in the Delta region.
