37 USAF DISP PACAF PHU CAT AB RVN

The 37th USAF Dispensary (DISP), assigned to the Pacific Air Forces (PACAF), was stationed at Phu Cat Air Base, Republic of Vietnam (RVN), during the Vietnam War. Activated in the late 1960s, the dispensary provided critical medical, dental, and preventive health services to U.S. Air Force personnel, allied forces, and sometimes Vietnamese civilians at the base. The unit supported combat operations by ensuring the health and readiness of aircrews and ground personnel, often operating under challenging conditions, including enemy attacks and tropical diseases. The 37th USAF Dispensary remained at Phu Cat AB until the base was turned over to South Vietnamese control as part of the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam.
