During the Vietnam War, approximately 2,000 UH-1 Iroquois (Huey) helicopter crewmen were killed.
For the US Army, that would be difficult to answer, because every single grunt (infantryman) was authorized that medal after 25 air assaults (airmobile insertions by helicopter); and probably well over a hundred thousand men made those kind of CA's (Combat Air Assaults).
The U.S. airforce did not really engage combat. They dropped of troops and supplies, but did very little bombing and hostile combat.
Over 58,000 men died in the Vietnam War. Women, like WWII & Korea, were part of the WACs in the US Army and were NOT USED in combat nor for combat. Only 8 US Military women died in the Vietnam War...all but one by accidents. The last 5 women killed, were killed in 1975 under the Ford administration when their C5 Galaxy crashed during operation baby lift. When the Vietnam War ended in 1975, the WACs were disbanded.
There were 36,516 killed including 2,830 non-combat deaths.

Women can do what men can do with a few exceptions. These include fathering children as they are not equipped and being involved in direct combat in the US military.
It is estimated that over 618,000 men died during the US Civil war from all causes including combat, disease and accident. Below is an excellent site for this and more on the US Civil War.

there is an air force base but it is not currently being used for combat, it is merely a presence.
US Army Air Force was the predecessor of United States Air Force and was the military aviation wing of US military during WW II. USAAF took a total of 88,119 casualties. This was 12 percent of total US casualties of the war. Out of 88,119 airmen deaths, 52,173 were battle casualty deaths and 35946 were non-battle deaths. Only US army had more casualties than USAAF in WW II.
As far as I know there weren't any. The Russians had women in combat roles, but I do not think the US did. Sorry, there were women in the US military, but not in combat roles is what I was trying to say....

For the US Army; an infantryman making 25 combat air assaults from a helicopter, sometimes referred to as "airmobiles", earned one air medal.
The term "combat troops" is confusing to civilians (and some military personnel too) because the term has been abused for so long. All US Army personnel are combat troops with specialized branches that specialize into specific combat jobs, formerly (which is why they used to go to BOOT CAMP; formerly known as Basic Combat Infantryman's Training) known as the combat arms branch: Armor (tanks), Artillery (cannons), and the Infantry (formerly fighting men/foot soldiers). During the late 1990 the US Army "may" have added other branches to that specialized combat arms system. Rumor control stated that the aviation branch was added to the combat arms system. The combat arms of the US Army are the conventional fighting branches of the US Army (or was during the Viet War days). US Combat troops, along with specialized troops were deployed to SOUTH Vietnam in 1955. CONVENTIONAL forces (those combat arms men previously discussed above were deployed in 1965).
