Preface [excerpt]

This thesis tells the story of a Revolution in Military Affairs that forever changed the way the United States Military conducts tactical and strategic operations. The thesis describes the development of airmobility by the U.S. Army from World War II to the Vietnam War and its introduction into combat by the First Cavalry Division (Airmobile) in Vietnam during 1965. It is the story of visionary men who experimented with a new concept over many years.
