1st Logistical Viet Nam

The 1st Logistical Command was a major United States Army support unit during the Vietnam War, established in 1965 to centralize and streamline logistical operations throughout South Vietnam. Headquartered in Saigon, its responsibilities included supply, transportation, maintenance, and medical support for all U.S. Army forces in the theater. The Command managed complex supply lines, depots, and transportation networks, ensuring frontline units received vital equipment and provisions despite challenging terrain and enemy attacks. The 1st Logistical Command operated until 1972, when the drawdown of U.S. forces led to its deactivation and the transfer of logistical responsibilities to South Vietnamese forces.
