This is the home page of the Pelicans and Scorpions of the 161st Assault Helicopter Company, 406th Transportation Detachment, and the 449th Signal Detachment.  We served in Vietnam from 1965 until 1968.  The 161st AHC was deactivated in 1968 and reorganized into the 123rd Aviation Battalion of the AMERICAL Division.

The Pelicans/Scorpions has no political agenda; we simply provide a means to stay in touch with those who shared our experiences.
