hey, Jerry.. the 545th Maintenance Detachment (Swamp Rats) was attached to the 119th from some of the earliest days-probably 1963, when the unit was reorganized from the 81st Transportation Company- and in the later days, 545th, 70th Signal Detachment (Avionics) and the 94th Medical Detachment were absorbed by the Service and Headquarters Platoons, 119th. During '70, I heard no reference to the 545th, just the Swamp Rats..

When the Company stood down on 10/31/70, the members of the unit who had "most" of their tours remaining were shifted to other units; ..as for the Avionics assets, we were attached in the Spring of '70 to the Headquarters Company, 52nd Avn Bn (Combat), but stayed in place..at Holloway or An Khe (Camp Radcliff)

I hope I haven't made things muddier...

the heat hasn't quite gotten to me, thanks- in fact, it was almost pleasant out today... and the next few days look delightful as compared to the past week or so... and I got my best largemouth bass in a few years on Friday. I put him back, and will visit him often.
