| Bien Hoa Army Base |
This base, adjacent to Bien Hoa Airforce Base, hosted numerous different Army units.
They included Company A44, 36th Signal Battalion (my unit for my first year in Viet Nam), the rear area and replacement company of the 101st Airborne Division, the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment a.k.a. "Black Horse", an air traffic control company, the 115th "Radio Research Company" (electronic signals intercept and intelligence), and an Army finance and administrative company that issued the pay checks for Army units and personnel throughout Viet Nam. The finance unit personnel had a mock unit patch proclaiming themselves "Chairborne"; an allusion to the 101st Airborne next door.
In the night guard duty scenes near the end of this set, you can see the runway lighting of the adjacent Bien Hoa Air Base.
