Ok so I found that a typical Helo company was 28 or 30 aircraft, 20 lift and 8 helo gunships with 2 more lift helos as support. So the question is how many lift companies would there be in a regiment of air mobile? I can make 9 companies of Vietnam air cav and one company of helo's. with room for another company of helo's.

Moved the thread to the correct sub-forum since it is a TO&E query.

These units where somewhat flexible depending on circumstances, however, that being said, From about Para 9 down and a search of ref. 1 from the following should help and answer most of your questions. Also on Ref.2 scroll to the bottom.
