General Note
Arballo Entertainment presents Scramble the Seawolves, the captivating, true stories as told by the men that lived them. Scramble the Seawolves is the little known story of the US Navy's first and only dedicated Attack Helicopter Gunship Squadron. Established in 1967 in support of Game Warden Operations in the Mekong Delta, Republic of Vietnam. The establishment of the Helicopter Attack (Light) Squadron Three Seawolves, also known as HA(L)-3, would mark an unprecedented chapter in Naval Aviation. Approximately 2556 men; Maintainers, Personnel, Gunners, and Pilots volunteered for duty. With hand-me-down Huey's and the spirit of ingenuity, courage, and resolve, the Seawolves became the most decorated Squadron in the Vietnam War and in Naval Aviation History.

As time ticks away, the lives of many of these surviving men have come to an end! Along with every original film, video, and picture, Scramble the Seawolves breathes life into their unbelievable stories!

"We made it our mission to never have to tell another American Mother that her son wasn't coming home." Jim Walker, HA(L)-3 Navy Cross Recipient

"For the Seawolves of the Delta, doing the outstanding was routine. Sometimes we did even better and accomplished the impossible." Sam Aydelotte, Seawolf
