My unit was the 585th transportation company. [One of the guys has a web sight with our history and etc. [ google search] My first month or so in 1968 we were under the 8th trans group and main job was convoys from Quin Ohon to Anke and Plieko. In that short time, since we never had a day off I must have been in 20 to 30 convoys on QL-19. My company moved up north to the Hue Phu Bie area in Jan and Feb. Someone said we were attached to the 3rd Marines. I assumed that they meant 3rd Marine Division but wonder if it would have been 3rd Marine Amphie force or something. I didn't see any army units then, and it was before the 101st came and settled at Camp Eagle. We were in a lot of convoys with the 7th Marine Mortor Transport. I think they were a baltalion size unit. Some time after Tet maybe April or so most of the Marines were pulled back south towards Danang. Then more army trans companies came north and we were under the 39th trans battalion. I was never in an army division. I have a lot of respect for most of the Marines we were with. They were just like us, only different.
