The US Army operated 12 AP-2E a/c loaned from the US Navy during the Vietnam war. Used from 1965-1972, they were outfitted as signals intelligence aircraft able to intercept low power transmissions. They maintained their former USN paint scheme while being operated by the US Army. 1st Radio Research Company (Aviation) insignia is on the nose under the cockpit windows.
