Description: The 155th Aviation Company unit history states that during August and September the 155th spent the majority of its operational time in the field under monsoon clouded skies. Operating in connection with the 119th and 170th Aviation Companies and the Chinooks of the 1st Cav, the 155th pilots proved extremely reliable during the quarter as no major aircraft accidents occured and no lives were lost. It was during this period also that the company organized and completed a move from Ban Me Thuot to Catecka, with its own mess personnel and operations teams intact. In the future, battalion mess and operations facilities were to swithc frequently among the three companies in the Pleiku area.
