Activated in 1967 and assigned to the Americal Division, the 23rd Infantry Division, the unit flew CH-47 Chinook helicopters across the I Corps Tactical Zone in South Vietnam, operating out of Fort Benning, An Khe, and Chu Lai. The Hercules crews were the backbone of heavy-lift logistics in one of the war's most demanding operational areas, running sling-load missions to move artillery pieces to remote firebases, resupply isolated outposts where ground convoys could not reach, and recover damaged aircraft and vehicles from hostile terrain. The unit flew in support of surrounded South Vietnamese paratroopers on Hill 30 under fire from multiple NVA regiments, a mission that defined the kind of reliability and courage the Hercules name demanded. Maintenance crews kept the big Chinooks airborne through harsh climate, constant use, and combat damage, earning a reputation for keeping the mission moving regardless of conditions. The 132nd ASHC and the 178th ASHC, the Boxcars, have maintained a joint veteran community for decades, with reunions that continue to honor the crews, maintainers, and ground support personnel who made the heavy-lift mission possible across I Corps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect For: Army aviation veterans, CH-47 Chinook crew members and maintainers, 132nd ASHC Hercules alumni, Americal Division collectors, Vietnam War aviation historians, unit reunion displays, shadow boxes, helmet bags, gear panels, and anyone building a serious Army helicopter collection around Vietnam-era assault support heritage. It also makes a meaningful gift for families and supporters who want a clean, unit-specific tribute to the crews who moved artillery, supplies, and hope to the most remote corners of I Corps under fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHercules heritage, heavy-lift legacy, and the Chinook story carried forward in vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Military, Law Enforcement and Custom Patches","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67613421633645,"sku":null,"price":5.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9831\/files\/4_Patch_6_202da63e-9f45-4de5-bf86-49072a6f6c38.png?v=1790869651","url":"https:\/\/marinepatches.com\/products\/official-us-army-132nd-ashc-hercules-sticker","provider":"MarinePatches.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
