The back story of the 13th ACR is that in the Red Dawn storyline, the Hell's Angels offered their services to the U.S. Army, on one condition: that a Regiment be formed from members who were Vietnam Vets. The Army accepted, albeit reluctantly, and the 13th ACR was formed. A standard three-squadron ACR, with support elements, and a USAR AH-1F unit became the 4th (Aviation) Squadron. They were equipped with Cadillac-Gage Stingrays, LAV-25, and towed 105-mm howitzers. By the end of the war, they had a reputation for ruthlessness, and took pride in that they used less ammunition and produced more corpses than any unit of comparable size. And they could be counted on to accomplish their assigned missions, but given the background of many of the Regiment's members, they did so in some unorthodox ways....
