I never experienced a Medivac not picking up wounded & KIA or a gunship not giving close support when either was under fire. I think the big difference with the 1st Cav, and later, the 101st were that they were Airmoble divisions with their own organic air assets and Medivac units such as the 101st Airborne’s 326th Med or as they were known, Eagle Dustoff.
