The 45th Transportation Battalion stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, deployed to Vietnam early in 1962 and assumed command of the three helicopter companies and the 18th Aviation Company. Shortly thereafter, in the spring of 1962, the 33rd and 81st Transportation Companies (Light Helicopter) (H-21) were deployed to RVN in a manner similar to the previous units' moves. The 33rd, which deployed from Fort Ord, California, was positioned at Bien Hoa; the 81st, which came from Hawaii, was located at Pleiku. Both of these units also came under command of the 45th Battalion.(7)
