298th ASA

The 298th Army Security Agency (ASA) Company was a U.S. Army signals intelligence unit activated during the early years of the Cold War. Tasked with intercepting and analyzing enemy communications, the unit played a critical role in providing intelligence support to U.S. and allied forces, particularly during the Vietnam War era. The 298th ASA was often deployed in Southeast Asia, where it operated various listening posts and mobile intercept teams. Over time, its mission and structure evolved as the Army's intelligence community was reorganized, eventually merging into successor units under the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM).
