In order to maintain the vast array of avionics (radios, etc) equipment assigned to the 187th AHC, a Signal Detachment was assigned to each AHC in Vietnam. This was a platoon sized organization of 1 officer and 10 enlisted personnel. Ours was the 1st Signal Detachment (Troubleshooter).
The detachment supported both aircraft and ground avionics assets of which there were many. Each aircrft had at least 4 radios with C&C having many additional. Operations alone had 10 additional sets. Add to that many more assigned to vehicles and sections and you get the idea of the vast array of avionics.
