An
Overview US Army in Thailand
During
Vietnam War (Era)
1962
- 1976
SEATO
After WWII, the
occupation of Japan and the Korean War armistice the United States was
instrumental in putting together an Asian equivalent of NATO with the signing
of the Manila Pact signed on 8 September 1954 leading to the creation of the
Southeast Asian Treaty Organization (SEATO) and headquartered in Bangkok in
1955. SEATO was considered a concept of anti-communist collective defense to
Southeast Asia whereby the military forces of each member were intended to be
coordinated to provide for the collective defense of the member states.
RECAP
During the 1950’s
the civil war in the Kingdom of Laos grew and by the early 1960’s the Kingdom
of Thailand requested and received assistance when it seemed that this internal
war would spill over and into its borders.
The first US
combat troops were stationed at Bangkok’s Don Muang Royal Thai Air Force Base,
and consisted of 4 combat aircraft stationed on alert beginning April 1961. As
communist aggression increased in the region by 1962 priority for US
intervention to Thailand was favored over that in Vietnam. It wasn’t until the
“Gulf of Tonkin” incident that President Johnson committed US forces to
Vietnam, while bolstering US troop strength in Thailand as well.
Due to the nature
of the “Gentleman’s Agreement” between Thailand and the United States that
prevented other nations from knowing the full extent of the US involvement to
protect its ally, all communications and/or news “officially” proclaiming the
extent of this involvement was banned by the Thai government.
Officially all
bases were “Royal Thai Bases” and were commanded by Thai commanders, yet
command of US troops was retained by the United States. News and news
organizations were not permitted to name actions originating from Thailand and
US personnel were not given official recognition for injuries received in
actions in Thailand.*
This became a
“Secret War” and still today said recognition is being sought by personnel who
were there “unofficially”.
The most
noticeable were the air crews who flew combat missions into North and South
Vietnam, Laos and even Cambodia.
Not seen were the
Army Special Forces personnel training Royal Thai Police and Royal Thai Army
units and personnel to fight Communist Thai (CT) and NVA insurgents throughout
Thailand.
There were US
Coast Guardsmen manning LORAN stations in not so noticeable locations throughout
central and northern Thailand. US Army Engineers carved bases and roadways out
of virtual jungle in demanding weather conditions?
Also unseen were
the huge number of support troops who manned radio stations, field hospital and
aid stations, motor pool dispatch offices and unit orderly rooms.
There were the
military police and “top secret” recon patrols keeping an eye on things on
“both” sides of the Mekong River.
It has been said
that an army moves on its stomach. Well that stomach has to be fed. That is the
job of the cooks and food preparation specialists. Before they can begin
preparing their meals those rations and supplies have to be transported and
disbursed to the respective bases and organizational mess or dining halls.
Another thing
that fuels an army is funds. Everyone loves payday. Monies are received and
paid out to various businesses and injected into the local economy through
employment of local nationals at every level of the military. Military bases
must be protected and defended in the event of subversive attacks.
Each of these
unique functions is the specific responsibility of a host of military units of
the various services within the US Department of Defense.
It is next to
impossible to do justice to the virtually hundreds of military commands and
organizations who made up this backbone within Thailand, yet each one is
vitally important to the success and survival of the others.
I want to focus
on facts that helped keep the Kingdom of Thailand from almost certain
domination by the increasing communist threat in the region of Southeast Asia.
US ARMY IX CORPS
The US Army’s IX
Corps located at Fort Buckner on Okinawa was the parent organization for US
Army Special Forces units operating throughout Southeast Asia from early 1960’s
throughout the mid 1970’s and for the 9th Logistical Command (B) and would later
become the 9th Regional Support Command and ultimately the 9th Theater Army
Area Command at Camp Zama, Japan in 1994.
MACTHAI
In May 1962, the
Military Assistance Command, Thailand was formed in Bangkok.
SEATO Exercise Air Cobra
In 1962 the escalation
of hostilities in Laos led to SEATO Exercise Air Cobra taking place in Thailand
with United States and Australian military forces as a show of force and
solidarity with Thailand. As the hostilities began to subside and at the
request of the Thai Government the 809th Engineer Battalion (Construction)
prepared to begin construction of the Bangkok By-Pass Road from Chachaengsao to
Kabin Buri.
JTF 116
In May 1962 Joint
Task Force 116 (Army, Air Force and Marines) was created to conduct military
operations along the Laotian border areas in support of Royal Thai military
forces. Many of the units comprising the joint task force were stationed in
Korea, Okinawa and Hawaii. This task force comprised of a Marine Battalion
Landing Team (BLT), the 1st Battle Group, 27th Infantry (25th Infantry
Division) and supporting elements under a detachment of the 9th Logistical
Command. In August 1962, they were joined by an army aviation company composed
of Caribou aircraft and the 1st Battle Group, 35th Infantry (25th Infantry
Division) replaced the 27th Infantry. The task force was withdrawn in November
1962 after the situation in Laos stabilized.
9th Logistical Command (B)
Elements of the
9th Logistical Command (B) remained in Thailand as an administrative and logistical
support headquarters overseeing the Communications Electronics Base, Thailand,
Korat Army Depot and various construction projects, including the Sattahip Port
Complex and the extension of the Bangkok By-Pass Road from Sattahip to Korat.
All other 9th Logistical Command units moved from Okinawa to join the
headquarters in Thailand. The 9th Logistical Command (B) was inactivated on 12
June 1970 at Camp Samae San, Sattahip.
USARSUPTHAI
On 25 April 1966
the United States Army Support Command, Thailand was activated on Okinawa and
elements began deploying to Thailand on 17 October with the rear detachment
closing on Camp Friendship on 15 November 1966. On 1 January 1967 USARSUPTHAI
officially assumed command and/or operational control over all Army units in
Thailand. The USARSUPTHAI was inactivated on 1 July 1974 at Camp Samae San,
Sattahip.
The missions of
USARSUPTHAI are as follows:
(1)
Tactical:
Provide the U. S. Army nucleus for a unilateral, bilateral or combined tactical
headquarters to conduct ground combat operations in Thailand;
(2)
Training:
Conduct continuing OJT (on-the-job training) of assigned Army units;
(3)
Planning:
Conduct U. S. Army planning to support joint operational plans for current
operations and contingency U. S. unilateral, bilateral and SEATO plans;
(4)
Management:
Exercise command management supervision of U. S. Army construction programs,
logistic operations, real property, facilities and project stocks; and
(5)
Logistical
and Administrative: Provide
(1)
Logistical
support to U. S. Air Force operations in North Vietnam and Laos and
(2)
U. S.
Army and joint service support as directed.
All Army units in
Thailand came under the operational control of USARSUPTHAI and played a vital
part of the war in Vietnam and early on:
Detachments of
the 46th Special Forces Company (Airborne) operated with and trained Royal Thai
Army and Royal Thai Police personnel and provided medical support to a number
of remote villages throughout northern Thailand.
The 428th Medical
Battalion had responsibility for 2 field hospitals, the 5th Field Hospital in
Bangkok and the 31st Field Hospital in Korat, plus a number of dental and
medical detachments.
The 44th Engineer
Group had overall responsibility for building infrastructure and roadway nets
that would link each military base together, providing better access in an area
primarily consisting of jungle growth utilizing units of the 809th Engineer
Battalion and other engineer assets brought in for that specific purpose (quite
a huge undertaking, even by today’s standards). The 697th Engineer Company
(Pipeline) had the responsibility for constructing buildings, huge “Tank Farms”
for fuel storage facilities, all the buildings and even the plumbing for every
base in Thailand.
The 596th
Quartermaster Company arriving in Thailand as part of the US Strike Command had
the responsibility of operating those massive “Tank Farms” for each of the
airbases to be used by United States Air Force personnel and fell under the 9th
Logistical Command (B).
The USA STRATCOM
Signal Battalion, Provisional had the responsibility of building and
maintaining critical communications networks and links that would tie these
military bases to the rest of the US Army forces in Southeast Asia and beyond.
The
transportation needs of US forces would be met by two transportation
battalions, the 499th Transportation Battalion (Terminal) and the 519th
Transportation Battalion (Motor Transport).
The 499th was
responsible for receiving cargo in country at the Deep Water Ports of Sattahip,
the Ammunition Piers at Vayama and the Peers in Bangkok.
The 519th was
responsible for transporting much of this cargo (in concert with the local ETO
Company) from the ports all the way to destination (more than 1066 highway
miles) utilizing Trailer Transfer Points strategically placed enroute at
critical points (Sattahip, Korat and Khon Kaen).
The lifeblood of
the entire US military operations depended upon their success.
