Does anybody know where I can find a list of all helo squadrons having had duty in Afghanistan and Iraq? I need it for the mailing list.
Also, Beirut, Grenada, and any other locations helo crews have seen combat.
I hope somebody will be able to provide an Order of Battle and Chronology for those units as well. We'll need the info soon.
