Description: The size of this patch is 3.5" x 3.5".The 9th Cavalry Regiment saw service (1965-1972) as an experimental air cavalry unit (1/9 Cav) during the Vietnam War. It was composed of aero-weapons (Reds), aero-scout (Whites), and aero-rifle (Blues). Its mission was one of an aerial reconnaissance unit which used helicopters and ground reconnaissance elements to locate enemy units and engage its infantry assets to destroy the enemy. This concept did away from conventional front line warfare that was typical in prior land warfare. This method was found to be very effective against the conventional and unconventional tactics of the NVA. During Vietnam war, the 1st of the 9th Cavalry became one of the finest units of the war earning 3 Presidential Unit citations and 5 Valorous Unit Citations. 1/9 Cav fought in some of the most savage battles of the war, and was responsible for approximately 50% of the enemy casualties of the entire 1st Cavalry division; earning the ominous nickname of "Headhunters" for their very high enemy body count.COMBINED SHIPMENT OF MULTIPLE ITEMS IS REDUCED TO SAVE YOU MONEY.YOUR ITEM WILL BE SHIPPED WITHIN 24 HOURS UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR PAYMENT.FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS ONLY: WE WILL SHIP BY 1st CLASS MAIL.
