Spent 1969 with the 504th MP BN in AnKhe. We ran convoy security on highway 19 between the top of the Maing Yaing Pass and down below the An Khe Pass. Worked with Armor units out of LZ Action & LZ Schuller many time during ambushes. Ate many meals at LZ Schuller. Sure beat C Rat's.

I was the last XO/PBO of the 24th Trans Co at Cam Ranh Bay. Just before the Army turned Cam Ranh over to the South Vietnamese, the 24th and a few other residual units were relocated to the former Navy compound on the bay side of the US Air Force Base at Cam Ranh. This was about 1 March 1972. Around 15 April, I took the property book/documents to Long Binh to have it cleared. Upon completion, I called back to Cam Ranh and left a message that the 24th was finally stood down. Cam Ranh Air Force Base was closed. Therefore I flew from Bien Hoa to Nha Trang and hitchhiked back to the Navy compound. There, under my door was a note from CPT Randall Peters. It said, " We got your message and caught the last plane out. Good Luck." I changed into jungle fatigues and reported to Co D/51st Inf, my new unit. I would serve with them until the end of June 1972. When I left this company, there were just a handfull of cadre left. The only other unit that I am aware of was a helicopter maintenance company.

The 24th Trans Co, under the 24th Trans Bn and part of the 124th Trans Cmd, I believe was the last long haul unit between Qui Nhon and Newport. By June 1972, the Army elements at Dalat, Phan Rang, Dong Ba Thin, and Tuy Hoa and the ROK White Horse Division at Ninh Hoa were completely gone. Only a Residual Support Activity was operating at Nha Trang.

I needed to study for a Dantes test about Vietnam. I watched 12 hours of video footage and still did not have the information I needed. Your site was very informative and helpful. God bless the Veterans.
