Company F's first action was as part of the National Guard force brought to Highland Park to quell the Detroit riot of 1968, and performed its duties without casualties. This is not to be confused with the much more serious 1967 Detroit riot in which the 1st Battalion (Airborne), 225th Infantry participated. Unlike Company D (Ranger), 151st Infantry, Indiana ARNG, Company F never deployed to Vietnam, but saw many training deployments during the period to locations including Puerto Rico and other stateside military installations. The company also participated in several REFORGER exercises in the 1980s. The unit won the Rhode Island International Parachute Competition 1st Place Team Trophy twice, in 1983 and 1987. In 1987, Airborne and Ranger-qualified personnel from Company F deployed to the United Kingdom and jointly trained with 21 Special Air Services (SAS). Company F was the first Army National Guard company ever to deploy from the US and jump into a simulated combat scenario in Puerto Rico.
