Operation Chopper occurred on January 12, 1962 and was the first time US forces participated in major combat in the Vietnam War. This operation heralded a new era of air mobility for the U.S. Army, which had been slowly growing as a concept since the Army formed twelve helicopter battalions in 1952 as a result of the Korean War. These new battalions eventually formed a sort of modern-day cavalry for the Army.
