Seeking information on 227th Aviation Battalion, 1970

Gary Bridges May 6, 2019 11:59 AM

I am seeking information on the actions of the 1st Air Cavalry Division and specifically the 227th Aviation Battalion during the period 1 May 1970 to 1 July 1970. The 227th was heavily involved in combat operations at this time. Information such as unit daily logs, unit awards, unit operation orders, would be helpful. Also, after action reports for the 1st Air Cavalry Division for this period would be most helpful. Have not found any division after action report or quarterly reports after December 1969.

Dear Mr. Bridges,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and locates a series titled Aviation Unit Records, ca. 1965 - ca. 1973 in the Records of the U.S. Forces in Southeast Asia (Record Group 472). This series includes the S-3 (operational) Daily Journals for May - July 1970 and the Organizational History files for 1965-1971 of the 227th Aviation Battalion (Boxes 491 & 501). We also located the series titled After Action Reports, 1965 - 1972 that includes reports of the 1st Air Cavalry. Both of these series are part of the Records of the U.S. Forces in Southeast Asia, 1950 - 1976 (Record Group 472). For access to and/or copies of these records, please contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) via email at archives2reference@nara.gov.

We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
