The Following List of Notes were taken from the Book "Vietnam Order of Battle",
A Complete Illustrated Reference to U.S. Army Combat and Support Forces in Vietnam 1961 - 1973. Copyright MCMLXXXI by Shelby L. Stanton, Captain Shelby L. Stanton, U.S. Army, Retired. There is far more information in his book than will be listed here.
If you want more information buy the book, I did and it's worth every penny.
I do not make any money from this book endorsement, nor do I make any money from this web site, however, I do spend my own money to bring this information to you.
I thought it would be easier to see when each unit existed, to make it easier to find our old combat buddies after 30 + years of trying to forget, but you know there just ain't no forgetten, cause the damned new media won't let us.
