I realize that this is subject to interpretation, but the Indiana Rangers (Company D, 151st Infantry Air Guard) is often cited as one of the most (even the most) highly decorated units to have served in Vietnam. This is just a sample of the many articles available which chronicle their exploits: Indiana Army National Guard Indiana Air Guard units were mobilized and served during the Korean War of the early 1950s and the Berlin Crisis of the early 1960s. Company D (Ranger), 151 st Infantry was mobilized during the Vietnam War and earned distinction as one of the most highly decorated combat units of the war. globalsecurity.org 1st Battalion, 151st Infantry Regiment "Warhawks" Four members of Company D made the supreme sacrifice on Ranger missions, with two additional deaths resulting from a helicopter crash. Indiana Rangers were decorated 538 times in Vietnam. 19 Silver Stars, 1 Soldiers Medal, 123 Bronze Stars (88 with "V" device for valor), 101 Purple Hearts,111 Air Medals and 183 Army Commendation Medals (29 with "V" device for valor) were awarded for valor and achievement. No other single Army Infantry company was as decorated during a one-year period of time as the Indiana Rangers.
