Consolidated with the Vietnam Era 9th Air Commando Squadron (Psychological Operations) in 1965.
The 9th ACS operated primarily C-47 Skytrains over South Vietnam from March 1967 to January 1972.
The squadron's psychological warfare missions directly or indirectly influenced the surrender of thousands of enemy soldiers (Chieu Hoa campaign).
In addition, carried out night combat operations against enemy forces and hamlets through flare drops.
Despite the often heavy and accurate enemy anti-aircraft fire they used light observation aircraft to perform search and rescue missions to locate and direct recovery forces finding downed airmen over enemy-controlled territory.
Inactivated in 1972 as part of the drawdown of forces in Indochina.
