Delta Btn, 13th CAB, 1-13th AVN RGMT
May 14-16 at Fort Rucker, AL
United States Army Aviation Center

The 13th Aviation Regiment at Ft. Rucker Alabama is sponsoring a reunion for the 13th CAB units in May of 2004. We have now finalized the agenda and date. Below are details and also a registration form to make out a reservation.

This is a great opportunity for you to see Ft. Rucker - where it all started for many of us. It is rare for an active army unit to sponsor an event like this and as such, we'll get first class treatment. It should be a lot of fun.

Please be advised that anyone who served with any 13th CAB unit at any time during the 1964-1972 time period (officer, enlisted or civilian) is invited, even though your unit may not have been assigned to the 13th CAB during your tour. This includes the following units: 13th CAB HQ; 114th, 121st, 162nd, 175th, 191st, and 336th AHC’s; 147th and 271st ASHC’s; 235th AWC; 73rd, 134th, 199th, 221st and 244th Avn Co’s (Caribou, Birddog and Mohawk units); Co. A, 101st Avn Bn; Co. A, 502nd Avn Bn; C Troop, 16th Cav and H Btty, 29th Arty. Members of any other units based at Soc Trang, Can Tho or Vinh Long are also cordially invited as Honorary Delta Battalion members.

For your information, the 13th Aviation Regiment is now a training unit at Ft. Rucker. I believe they handle all the enlisted aviation MOS training at the base.

It is important that we get a feel for how many people will attend as soon as a possible so it would be appreciated if you completed the registration at your earliest convenience.
