Historical information and model use

The U.S. 1st Cavalry Division, known for its distinctive insignia—a yellow shield with a black stripe and horse—was a United States Army unit that, during the Vietnam War (1965-1972, Cold War period), was the first to utilize the mass deployment of helicopters, pioneering the so-called air cavalry tactics. Thanks to the mobility provided by helicopters, the division took part in key operations such as the Battle of Ia Drang Valley (1965) and Operations Pershing and Attleboro. The model presents American soldiers from that period, enabling the recreation of realistic dioramas and vignettes from this turbulent decade.
