United States Army, Thailand Order of Battle
Appendix B is from "Vietnam Order of Battle" by Shelby Stanton
Appendix B
"The United State Army
build-up in Thailand can be traced to the establishment of the U. S. Military
Assistance Command, Thailand on 15 May 1962. Early that year a combined U.S.
task force was deployed to Thailand on a military exercise which included 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. They were joined by a army aviation company composed of
Caribou aircraft on 10 July 1962. In late August the 1st Battle
Group, 35th Infantry* [25th Infantry Division] replaced the 1st
Battle Group, 27th Infantry. However, this task force was withdrawn November
1962 after the situation in Laos stabilized. In the meantime, several U.S. Army
units had been sent to Thailand on a permanent basis and by November 1966 the
U.S. Army Support Command, Thailand, was established." These Army units
fulfilled direct or indirect support functions related to the Vietnam conflict
to the extent that most received Vietnam service credit in recognition of their
supporting role.
*These battle
groups were redesignated battalions by Dept. of the Army as follows:
1st Battle Group, 27th
Infantry 8/26/63
1st Battle Group, 35th
Infantry 8/12/63

"In October 1966
Company D, 1st Special Forces Group [Airborne], 1st Special Forces,
which was organized 15 April 1966 at Fort Bragg, arrived in Thailand. The 46th
Special Forces Company, 1st Special Forces was activated 15 April 1967 in
Thailand using assets of Company D, 1st Special Forces Group. In
1968 the 46th Special Forces Company was headquartered at Camp Pawai near
Lopburi and had three subordinate B-Detachments at Sakon Nakhon, at Camp Nong
Takoo (Pak Chong) and at Ban Kachon. On March 31 1972 its assets were used to
form HHD, 3rd Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group [Airborne], 1st
Special Forces. However for security reasons it was known locally simply as
U.S. Army Special Forces, Thailand." Other A-Detachments were located for
various periods during the war at: Camp Carrow (Trang), Chonburi, Kokethiem,
Saraburi, Ratburi, Fort Narai (Lopburi), Kanchanaburi, Hua Hin, Bangkok, Udorn,
