605 th ADS, Pho Loi

The 605th Aircraft Defense Squadron (ADS) was stationed at Phu Loi Airfield in South Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Activated in the late 1960s, its primary mission was to provide air defense and base security against enemy aircraft and ground attacks. The unit operated radar and anti-aircraft systems, coordinating closely with U.S. Army and Air Force elements in the region. The 605th ADS played a crucial role in safeguarding critical logistical hubs and air operations in the III Corps Tactical Zone until the drawdown of U.S. forces.
