The de Havilland Canada DHC-4 Caribou, designated CV-2 in United States Army service, was a rugged tactical transport designed to move troops, equipment and supplies into locations inaccessible to larger aircraft. Its short take-off and landing capability made it particularly valuable in Vietnam, where small, rough airstrips often provided the only practical fixed-wing access to remote positions.
The Army received its first evaluation aircraft in 1959. The Caribou filled an important gap between helicopters and larger transport aircraft, combining useful load-carrying capacity with the ability to operate close to ground forces. Its rear loading ramp simplified the handling of freight and equipment, while its adaptable cabin supported troop transport and casualty evacuation.
In Vietnam, Army Caribous became an important part of the tactical supply network. Their ability to use short airstrips allowed crews to deliver personnel, ammunition, food and other essential supplies directly to isolated outposts. Rather than relying entirely on established airbases, the Army could use the Caribou to bring fixed-wing transport support much closer to the battlefield.
The aircraft also became central to a debate over the division of responsibilities between Army and Air Force aviation. Under the Johnson–McConnell Agreement of April 1966, the Army agreed to transfer its tactical Caribou fleet to the United States Air Force. The transfer took effect at the beginning of 1967, and the aircraft continued their transport mission under the designation C-7 Caribou.
Although that agreement ended the Caribou’s principal Army tactical transport role, a small number subsequently remained or returned for specialist duties. The Regular Army’s last active-duty C-7A, operated from Redstone Army Airfield, made its final Army flight in May 1991, extending the service’s association with the type well beyond its Vietnam-era transfer.
