The 24th Transportation Company (Light Truck), often associated with Tuy Hoa in Vietnam, was a United States Army unit active during the Vietnam War. Stationed at Tuy Hoa Air Base, the company was responsible for providing vital ground transportation of supplies, equipment, and personnel throughout the Central Highlands and coastal regions. The unit played a crucial role in supporting combat operations by ensuring the steady flow of logistical resources to forward-deployed units. Despite facing threats from ambushes, mines, and challenging terrain, the 24th Transportation Company maintained a high operational tempo until its redeployment and eventual deactivation as U.S. involvement in Vietnam wound down.
