USA SUPPORT THAILAND

USA SUPPORT THAILAND was a United States military mission established during the Vietnam War to assist the Royal Thai Government in defense and logistical operations. Beginning in the early 1960s, American personnel provided training, equipment, and support to Thai armed forces, enhancing their capability to counter communist insurgencies within Thailand and neighboring Laos. The unit facilitated the construction and operation of key air bases, which served as strategic hubs for U.S. air operations throughout Southeast Asia. USA SUPPORT THAILAND played a vital role in strengthening U.S.-Thai military relations before being gradually reduced after the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam in the mid-1970s.
