HistoryCamp Holloway was established in 1962. It was located along Route 19 approximately 3km east of Pleiku in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. The camp was named in 1963 for Piasecki CH-21 helicopter pilot Warrant Officer Charles E. Holloway, who in December 1962 became the first aviator assigned to the 81st Transportation Company to be killed in action.[1][2] The 81st Transportation Company, re-equipped in 1963 with Bell UH-1 "Huey" Iroquois helicopters, later became the 119th Assault Helicopter Company. A Viet Cong attack in the early morning hours of February 7, 1965, killed eight, wounded 108 and destroyed 18 aircraft. This prompted U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson to begin bombing North Vietnam. In December 1965 the 170th Aviation Company joined with the 119th to make the 52d BN. The base eventually expanded to house the headquarters of the US Army's 52d Combat Aviation Battalion of the 17th Combat Aviation Group, 1st Aviation Brigade. At its peak, Camp Holloway was home to two additional UH-1 "Huey" assault helicopter companies, the 179th Aviation Support Helicopter Company Boeing CH-47 Chinook, an Cessna O-1 Bird Dog reconnaissance airplane company, a Sikorsky CH-54 Skycrane company, and other supporting units. B Troop, 7th Squadron, 17th Air Cavalry also was stationed at Camp Holloway for a period of time. Camp Holloway was closed in 1971.
