HA(L)-3 “Seawolves” Helicopter Attack Squadron (Light) three was formed in 1966 to support Naval Special Warfare operations and Mobile Riverine Forces in Vietnam. The unit was first formed using 8 volunteer pilots and was formally commissioned in April 1967. The Seawolves were used for SAR, recon, MEDEVAC and insertion and extraction of Navy Seal teams. The Seawolves were decommissioned in January 1972 but not before flying 120,000 combat sorties with 44 being killed and 200 wounded. Designed to meet a US Army requirement for a medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) and general utility helicopter, the UH-1 Huey was first flown on October 20, 1956. Nicknamed "Huey" because of its original "HU-1" designation, this aircraft became famous during the Vietnam War, where 7,000 of them served in a variety of roles, from MEDEVAC and search and rescue to troop transport, air assault and ground attack. As a troop transporter, the Huey revolutionized warfare, giving the Army the ability to strategically position troops in various locations that were otherwise difficult to reach in the heavy jungle environment. © Copyright 2003-2025 The Flying Mule, Inc.
