A note from The Virtual WallThe 3rd Squadron, 5th U. S. Cavalry was activated in 1966 for duty in Vietnam with the 9th Infantry Division. The Black Knights, consisting of four Armored Cavalry troops (A, B, C, and HQ) and one Air Cav troop (D Troop), joined in the 9th ID's first major contact of the war -- Operation Colby in 1967.After the grim Tet attacks in 1968, General Westmoreland reassigned Troops A, B C, and HQ, 3rd/5th Armored Cavalry to the DMZ to bolster armored firepower there. D Troop, 3/5 Cav, remained with the 9th Infantry, stationed at Vinh Long Army Airfield. is remembered by his brothers from |
