Summary, Etc. The 5/7th Cavalry was formed as a brand-new battalion in order to fill out the 1st Air Cavalry Division's 3rd Brigade. The young men of the battalion were largely drafted together in 1965 as the build-up of regular Army forces in Vietnam had just begun. Together, these impossibly young men would be trained in airmobile infantry tactics and become what were known as "skytroopers". They would then be sent deep into the Central Highlands of Vietnam, where together they would learn what "search and destroy" meant and face the reality of this new war. This second edition features additional personal accounts gathered from Alpha Company soldiers and friends of the fallen, many of whom I met after the book's original publication
