Helicopter Attack Squadron (Light) Five : ウィキペディア英語版
Helicopter Attack Squadron (Light) Five

Helicopter Attack Squadron (Light) Five, known by the US Navy nomenclature HA(L)-5 (sometimes abbreviated as HAL-5), was a Naval Special Warfare and close air support helicopter squadron in the period following the Vietnam War, which, along with its sister squadron HA(L)-4 "Red Wolves", was one of the last two US Navy squadrons using Bell UH-1 Iroquois "Huey" gunships.
== Genesis of the HA(L) squadrons ==
In 1966, United States Naval Special Warfare Command rotary support was originated as part of the response to the ongoing Vietnam War. Starting with Helicopter Combat Support Squadron ONE (HC-1), detachments of helicopter gunships supported the Mobile Riverine Force (also known as the Brown-water navy) effort in the Mekong Delta region of South Vietnam.〔(GlobalSecurity.org: HC-1 )〕 HC-1 “Fleet Angels” operated two-aircraft detachments of UH-1B gunships, staged from amphibious vessels. Providing a quick reaction force and performing a close air-support (CAS) role for units of the Navy's Special Warfare Groups and the Mobile Riverine Force, the effectiveness of the helicopter attack mission was quickly realized and in response, the Navy began to widen the mission,〔(BlueHawksofHAL-5.org )〕 creating the need for a specific Squadron to provide that support. In April 1967, HC-1 was divided into four separate units, Helicopter Attack Squadron (Light) THREE (Navy Gunships), Helicopter Combat Support Squadron THREE (Navy Vertical Replenishment), Helicopter Combat Support Squadron FIVE (LAMPS), and Helicopter Combat Support Squadron SEVEN (Navy Combat Search and Rescue).
Nicknamed the "Sea Wolves", HA(L)-3 was established in South Vietnam with its headquarters originally in Vung Tau and later in Binh Thuy, originally flying in support of Operation Game Warden, earned over 20,000 unit and personnel awards. In 1972 HA(L)-3 was disestablished〔 and in 1997, the US Navy recognized the service of the squadrons aircrew, retroactively awarding the Combat Aircrew Insignia to Combat Aircrewmen who served in Helicopter Attack Squadron (Light) Three.〔(www.seawolf.org )〕
