Arriving into Vietnam out of Fort Lewis in early October 1966, Troop D 1/10th Cavalry performed a Divisional Reconnaissance role for the 4th Infantry Division (Poison Ivy).
The role of the 'Slicks' was the insertion and extraction of ground forces from combat zones and insertion of LRRP Units into remote jungle areas (Air-Cavalry / Airmobile ).
They were also used for the resupply of ground forces in combat zones.
Both doors of the Slicks were manned with M-60 Machine Guns and door gunners.
