The 4th Transportation Command was activated in March 1942 at Fort Lawton, Washington. Initially located in the Port of Liverpool, the Command achieved outstanding results while supporting the North African Campaign and later the invasion of Sicily. Shortly after the Normandy landings, the Command was directed to organize and operate the Port of Cherbourgh..
At the end of World War II, the Command returned to the United States and was reactivated at Camp Kilmer, New Jersey, in December 1945.
In June 1945, a need developed to update the Army's water terminal methods and techniques and to work out these details, the Command was reactivated at Fort Eustis, Virginia. New concepts for logistical over the shore (LOTS) operations which utilized BARCS DUKS and, later, LARCs were born in the mid and late 50s and early 60s. The Command combined the LOTS concepts with improved conventional terminal Operations. Terminal units from The Command were called into overseas service in both the Dominican Republic Crisis and for duty in Vietnam.
Alerted for movement in May 1965, the organization arrived in Vietnam on 12 August 1965. Its first assigned mission was to operate water terminals at Saigon, Nha Be, Cat Lai, Cam Ranh Bay, Vung Tau, Qui Nhon, Nha Trang, Phan Rang and other locations as directed. The Command was further charged to furnish direct motor transport in support of port and beach clearance, to support tactical requirements and to establish an Air Cargo terminal in Saigon. Initially, the Command had approximately 7,500 troops under its direction to accomplish these missions. Most U.S. Army divisional size units, some smaller units (both U.S. and Allied) and an estimated 70 percent of all supplies for United States and Allied forces in Vietnam have been landed at ports operated by the Command.
With the establishment of the U.S. Army Support Commands at Cam Ranh Bay and Qui Nhon in early 1966, the water terminal operations were transferred to them. The Command' s mission was altered to that of operating the Saigon Port complex, a sub-port at Vung Tau and various ammunition distribution sites.
During the Command's first year in Vietnam, nearly 1.4 million tons of military cargo had been handled at the Saigon Port alone with an average of 100 ,ships each month.
Beginning 4 July 1966 the Command was assigned the further mission of handling U.S. Agency for International Development and Commercial Import Program cargo. Members of the Command are also serving as advisors to officials of the Republic of Vietnam who operate the commercial port of Saigon.
With the opening of Newport in August 1966, a recently constructed facility north of Saigon, some of the heavy burden has been taken off the port of Saigon. These newest docks in the Saigon area serve re-routed ships which formerly tied up much of Saigon Port's traffic, plus refining and expediting, handling of USAID/CIP cargo.
In July 1967 the U.S . Army Transportation Battalion Vung Tau/Delta (Provisional) was established to operate the U.S. Army Terminal Vung Tau/Delta and to command control the 5th Transportation Company (heavy boat), the 329th Transportation Company (heavy Boat) and the 1097th Transportation Company (Medium. Boat).
One of the Command's major achievements in 1966 followed the SS Baton Rouge Victory disaster in August. The Victims, of the underwater mine explosion which blew up the vessel, were brought to hospitals by boats assigned to this Command our tugs helped beach the stricken ship, thus keeping the vital ship channel in the Saigon River, open. Personnel and equipment of the Command managed to salvage a major portion of the cargo aboard the ship which was destined £or Saigon and transported it upriver on barges to its destination.
The 4th Transportation Command consists of three transportation terminal service battalions, the 11th Transportation Battalion and 71st Transportation Battalion, the U.S. Army Transportation Battalion Vung Tau/Delta (Provisional), and the 125th (Terminal A) Transportation Command.
The 125th Transportation Command was activated at Ft. Eustis, Virginia, On 25 May 1966. The initial mission of the Command was training, organizing, staffing and equipping itself and subordinate organizations for deployment to an overseas area.
A concentrated training program was developed and initiated. The training program contained minimum mandatory subjects. Training began with a five-week period of basic training which ended with a seven day field training exercise at Ft. Story, Virginia. During the field exercise the units participated in two types of exercises. A period of two weeks advance training for the unit followed.
Concurrently, arrangements for individual training was completed. Selected officers were sent for on-the-job training and special area orientation at such installations as Savannah Outport, Georgia, Sunny Point Outport South Carolina, Military Ocean Terminal, Brooklyn, New York, Military Ocean Terminal, Bayonne, New Jersey, and Ft. Belvoir, Virginia. Enlisted personnel received training at the U.S. Army Transportation Center Leadership School, Ft. Eustis; Virginia, First U..S. Army Chemical-Biological-Radiological (CRB) School, Ft. Meade, Marylandl and, the U.S. Army Transportation School, Ft. Eustis, Virginia, and other locations.
The 125th arrived in the the Republic of Vietnam on 4 October 1966 and was assigned to the 4th Transportation Command (Terminal C). The unit has a unique task, in that it assists the Director General of Ports, Republic of Vietnam in developing more efficient methods which are required to improve operations of the Saigon Port.
The period 1 January 1967 thru 31 March 1967 saw significant progress in the program to improve the management and operation of the Saigon Commercial Port. The period 4 October 1966 thru 31 December 1966 saw the initiation of the improvement program, and the acceptance of revised principles and techniques of port management by the various military, governmental and private commercial interests in the port. After 1 January 1967 with a reorganization of the Port Authority and appointment of new officials at the national and local level, the Port of Saigon experienced an accelerated pace in. the improvement of operations and port management. Plans and programs initiated in the previous quarter began to show results.
Concurrently, importers, bankers, the Chamber of Commerce, and the new Minister of Finance exhibited a positive interest in accelerating port clearance, and accepting the fact that the basic problem was an economic one rather than one that could be entirely corrected at the port. The Market congestion problem became generally accepted as a problem in both Vietnamese and U.S. economic circles.
The U.S. Army Transportation Battalion Vung Tau/Delta previsional was formed 30 July 1967.
The Battalion was given the mission of operating the U.S. Army Terminal Vung Tau/Delta and commanding the 5th Transportation Company (Heavy Boat), the 329th Transportation Company (Heavy Boat), the 1097th Transportation Company (Medium Boat), and the 626th, 630th, 633rd, and 634th Transportation Detachments. The nucleus of the present battalion headquarters came from the 511th Transportation Detachment (Tm JD), contract supervision, which was an eight man detachment for supervision of the Alaska Barge and Transport Company.
The battalion headquarters were fully Operational in all staff elements by 31 August 1967. Additional efforts have been made to manage port operations in such a way as to assist AB&T to become more efficient and thus reach the 6o,ooo S/T cargo handled per month programed for this port beginning 1 September; heretofore, the programed tonnage for Vung Tau was only 45,000 s/t. The present capability of this port is limited only by the consignee's ability to receive cargo. We could easily move 90,000 s/T thru the port if consignees could return the truck fleet expeditiously.
There are two (2) deep draft berths at the Delong Pier. In addition there are five (5) anchorage berths in the stream, three (3) of which are used for all cargo, the best protected for troop ships, and the farthest out for ammo ships. A short pier is used primarily for barges. Additionally there are three (3) LST slips, one of which is used primarily for loading and discharge LCU's. Vung Tau/Delta has four principal consignees in the area: PA&E, 53rd General Support Depot, 2d Maintenance Battalion and the 148th Ordnance Battalion.
The two heavy boat companies are committed daily to Can Tho, Dong Tam, Vinh Long, Phu Quoc, Qui Nhon, Ham Tan, French Fort, and Baria. In addition to cargo missions, the heavy boats are used for troop moves and in support of tactical operations.
The medium boat company is based at Dong Tam and is in general support of the 9th Infantry Division and direct support of the 3d Battalion, 34th Artillery. This company works with the Mekong Delta Riverine Assault Force (MDRAF), a Navy flotilla serving as home base for the 2d Brigade, 9th Infantry which makes beach landings throughout the Delta.
Seven of the Mike 8's have special construction in the well decks for Battalion FDC, Battalion Command Post (Bn Cp), Battery FDC's, and a first aid station. The remaining boats in the company are utilized to tow artillery and mortar barges into firing positions, plus keep our own maintenance barge with the company while on missions.
The 11th Transportation Battalion was activated 1 October 1941, at Ft. Hamilton, New York, as the 369th Quartermaster Battalion (Port). The unit was redesignated the 369th Port Battalion, Transportation Corps, 31 July 1942. The battalion served in England, North Africa, Italy and France during World War II and was awarded campaign streamers £or Sicily (with arrowhead), Rome-Arno, Southern France and Rhineland. The unit was inactivated at Marseille France, 13 March 1946.
Redesignated the 11 th Transportation Port Battalion ion on 29 September 1948, it was reactivated 4 October 1948 at Ft.Eustis, Virginia. The Unit's current designation became effective 2 October 1954.
The Battalion arrived in the Republic 0f Vietnam 5 August 1965 from Ft. Eustis. Upon arrival it was deployed to Saigon Port, Vietnam; to prepare for the massive logistical buildup. One of the original units of the 4th Transportation Command in Vietnam, in less than two months the battalion had assumed operational control of the Port from the U.S. Navy, disembarked and staged the 1st infantry Division into the country and was engaged in discharging unprecedented tonnage of supplies and equipment in support of Free World Forces.
When the operations of Saigon Port were taken over by the 4th Transportation Command, the 11th moved to Long Binh and assumed the primary mission of a truck battalion. During this period its personnel participated in operations Greenlight, Moonlight, Hardihood and Birmingham, providing general support for field operations.
On 12 May 1966 the truck companies were transferred to another unit and the 11th returned to Saigon and assumed the barge discharge operations, supporting the Saigon Port and the logistical over the shore (LOTS) operation at Vung Tau. During the unit's first year in Vietnam, it was credited with transporting over 1.6 million tons of cargo over the waterways, piers and highways.
The unit's present mission is to provide vessels and personnel to move cargo along the inland waterways to final discharge sites, as well as providing personnel and equipment for terminal service at various port locations within the Republic of Vietnam.
To carry out its mission, the battalion has three companies assigned and several detachment-sized units.
The 71st Transportation Battalion was constituted as the 48th Quartermaster Regiment (Truck) 1 May 1936. The 71st was activated at Ft. Benning, Georgia, 10 February 1941 and redesignated as the 48th Quartermaster truck Regiment on 14 December 1942. In December 1943, the unit was split and again redesignated as the 71st Quartermaster Battalion, Mobile, and the 48th Quartermaster Group. on 15 April 1946, the 71st was inactivated in Japan.. The unit was once more activated on 1 August 1946, as the 71st Transportation Corps Truck Battalion. During World War II the unit served in the Southwest Pacific area with merit and valor.
On 28 June 1954, the unit was redesignated as the 71st Transportation Battalion (helicopter) and was activated at Marshall Field, Ft.Riley, Kansas, 19 July 1954. The primary mission of the 71st was to activate, supply and supervise the training of helicopter companies and to prepare them as combat-ready units for assignments overseas or with other units in the United States. This new battalion was the first of its kind to be activated by the Army. Dramatic results of this training can be seen by the results obtained from the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile) end their employment in the Republic of Vietnam from 1965 to date.
On 20 March 1956, three H-12 helicopters of one of the companies assigned to the Battalion accomplished one of its most memorable feats when they endured sub-zero temperatures, plus ice and snow, to scale the tricky slopes and land atop Pikes Peak, Colorado, to set a new altitude record at 14,110 feet.
The 71st departed for the Republic of Korea on 2 October 1961, where it was assigned the mission of conducting training exercises with the Armed Forces of Korea and delivering critically needed supplies to Korean Communities stricken by floods and other disasters. The unit was again inactivated 24 September 1963.
Reactivated at Ft. Story, Virginia, 24 June 1965, the unit had the mission to support, plan and supervise training and major activities for subordinate units. In January 1966, the 71st was assigned as a major subordinate command under the U.S. Army Transportation Training Center, Ft. Eustis, Virginia. Alerted for overseas movement in August 1966, the main body of the Battalion arrived in the Republic of Vietnam in October 1966. Its present mission is to operate water terminal activities in the Newport-Thu Duc area.
The Newport facility, which opened in August 1966, is a new water terminal facility north of Saigon which has been constructed to take some of the heavy burden off the Port of Saigon. These newest docks in the Saigon area serve re-routed ships which formerly tied up much of Saigon Port's traffic. They also refine and expedite handling of USAID/CIP cargo. When completed, Newport will have four berths for deep draft (ocean going) vessels, four barge sites, two LST slips and one LCU slip. To carry out its mission, the battalion has five terminal service companies assigned; the 154th, 368th, 561st, 567th and 551st.
154TH TRANSPORTATION COMPANY (TERMINAL SERVICE)
The 154th Transportation Company has the mission of discharging cargo at the U.S. Army Terminal Newport.
561ST TRANSPORTATION COMPANY (TERMINAL SERVICE)
The 561st Transportation Company has a double mission. First, of the two missions, to maintain the cargo and vehicle staging areas at U .S. Army Terminal Newport and secondly is the unloading of deep draftvessels at U.S. Arny Terninal Newport.
567TH TRANSPORTATION COMPANY (TERMINAL SERVICE)
The 567th Transportation Company was the first unit attached to the 71st Transportation Battalion and has the mission of building the new compound which is now called "Camp Camelot" - Home of the 71st ~B (Tml). December 1966, a detachment of the 567th moved to lhe Mekong Delta to support the 9th infantry Division Base Camp at Dong Tam. This detachment was the first American unit at Dong Tarn and had the supplies waiting for the 9th Inf Div waiting on the beach when they arrived. The 567th Trans Co also has a mission of unloading vessels at U.S. Army Terminal Newport.
551ST TRANSPORTATION COMPANY (TERMINAL SERVICE)
The 551st Transportation Company has a mission of loading and unloading LSU's and Barges at U.S. Army Terminal Newport.
402ND TRANSPORTATION COMPANY (TERMINAL TRANSFER)
The 402 nd Transportation Company supplements terminal operations at Cogido. Unit headquarters is at Long Binh.
1099TH TRANSPORTATION COMPANY (MEDIUM BOAT)
"River Rats" The 1099th Transportation Company (Medium Boat, LCM-8) is Headquartered at Camp Davies near Saigon The 1099th supports units in the Mekong Delta whenever called upon. Their missions range from assisting in recovering downed helicopters in the Dong Nai River, pushing cargo barges anywhere in the Saigon area and pushing gravel laden barges from French Fort to Tan An in support of base camp construction by the U.S. 9th Infantry Division.
1099TH TRANSPORTATION COMPANY (Medium Boat)--from Armin Schmalz
The 1099th Transportation Company (Medium Boat) was deployed to the Republic of Vietnam in 1965 to provide landing craft for the movement of personnel and cargo in support of Saigon Port and Vung Tau sub-port operations. The mission has expanded to include all types of cargo which is moved throughout III and IV military regions on the inland waterways.
At present the 1099th is one of 3 Landing Craft Medium or LCM-8 Boat companies in the Republic of Vietnam. The 1099th is prsently based at the Cat Lai Arry Terminal about 8 miles due east of Saigon. The boats of the "brown water navy" have been deployed as far south as the old French resort town of Cap. Ste. Jacques (Vung Tau), and as far west as the Cambodian border. Of course, trips to Saigon and the neighboring area are common. The boats generally transport two commodities: amnnmition and general cargo. The Cat Lai Terminal is the primary ammunition offloading point for most of southern and Delta area of Vietnam. Ocean going ships, unable to travel further upstream, discharge their cargo in mid-river to barges and the boats which transport the amunition up to the main depot at Long Binh.
The 1099th has served under three commanders in the past year. CPT William B. Harriman Jr. handled operations during the first part of 1970 and was relieved by CFT William J. Provinse on the 27th of Februsry. CPT Provinse in turn was relieved by lLT John F. Hoverson on the 5th of October.
The company has recently been involved in an important combat support operation in the U Minh Forest since the last part of November 1970. It is the 1099th River Rat job to provide POL and ammunition to the 1st Aviation Brigade's 164th Combat Air Group (CAG) supporting the 21st ARVN Division's search and clear operations. The 1099th "Mike" boats are fitted with 5000 gallon POL tanks or 10,000 gallon bladders in their well decks in order to bring JP4 from the mouth of the Song Ong Doc River up river to Thoi Binh for discharge. There is also a maintenance boat along with other boats which carry ammunition that are involved in this operation. They operate out of Ca Mau, the base of operations. The crews of these boats are faced with danger everyday. During trips up and down the river, they are constantly subject to river ambushes and operate continually under extremely adverse conditions.
All of this has helped to make the 1099th the inost decorated Transportation Boat Unit in Vietnam. They have been awarded mimerous Silver Stars, Bronze Stars for valor and Army Commendation Medals. As a unit the 1099th has been awarded the Valorous Unit Award, the Meritorious Unit Award and has been recommended for a Presidential Unit Citation.

HISTORY OF l59TH TRANSPORTATION BATTALION (TERMINAL) On 1 September 1953, the 159th Transportation Battalion (Boat), was activated and given the mission of furnishing and operating landing craft for logistical and combat support of Army forces in joint amphibious operations as well as providing tactical mobility, combat and logistical support in ship to shore missions. During World War II four engineer Special Brigades were tasked with a similar mission. From these deactivated units the 159th inherited the tradition of wearing "red patches". The patches were originally authorized as a means of identifying boat personnel who were given general freedom of hostile beaches to continue their assigned missions.
In 1954, green combat leader's identification tabs were authorized, designating the 159th Transportation Battalion (Boat) as a combat battalion: the only unit so designated in the Transportation Corps. "Hit the Beach" became the unit's official motto.
From the date of its inception until the spring of 1965, the battalion was stationed at Fort Eustis, Virginia, where it provided support for the training missions of the U.S. Transportation School. On 4 May 1965, it was deployed to the Dominican Republic as part of Power Pak III. Supervising the off-loading of cargo ships and LSTs at Puerto De Andres and Puerto De Hainia became the battalion's mission for the next three-and-a-half months. When it returned to Fort Eustis on 17 August 1965, the l59th assumed responsibility for operation of 3rd Port Complex and on 21 December was redesignated as a terminal battalion.
The following spring the 159th Transportation Battalion (Terminall) was alerted for deployment to the Republic of Vietnam. The main body of the unit arrived in Qui Nhon on 10 August 1966. Ten of the units assigned to the 394th Transportation Battalion were attached to the 159th as the newly arrived unit assumed the mission of operating the LST beach and outer harbor discharge at Qui Nhon. In February 1968 these units were returned to the 394th and the 159th was sent north to be assigned to the Da Nang Support Command (Provisional).
Its new mission was to operate a LOTS (Logistical over-The-Shore) opereration on a strip of beach fifteen miles south of the DMZ. It came to be known as "Wunder Beach." After seven months the battalion was forced to leave "Wunder Beach" because of the impending monsoon season. Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment was deployed south to Vung Tau, a peninsula thirty miles south-east of Saigon.
Since 1 September 1968 it has operated U.S. Army Terminal, Vung Tau. The battalion is assigned three boat companies, 5th Trans Co (Hcavy Boat, 1099th Trans Co (Medium Boat) and 124th Trans Co (Terminal Service). Under the control of the battalion's boat operations center these units haul military supplies throughout the waterways of the Delta.

Letter from Captain Robert W. Cowan to DA Chief of Military History, 20 March 1971
On 1 January 1970, the 403rd Transportation Company (TT) was located at Da Nang, Republic of Vietnam, under the command of Captain James B. Chaplin.
The mission of the 403rd Transportation Company (TT) at this time was to assist the 663rd Collection-Classification and Salvage Company to construct pallets and wooden crates for retrograde engines, components and major end assemblies.
On 21 February 1970, the 403rd's Unit Headquarters and the First Platoon departed from Da Nang and established its base of operations at Tan My Ramp, Republic of Vietnam. Under the command of the 863rd Transportation company (Provisional) the 403rd Transportation Company (TT) worked at the shallow draft port at Tan My Ramp. The unit strength at this time was 4 Officers and 178 enlisted men. The second platoon moved to Chu Lai, Republic of Vietnam. Both the second and third platoons were attached to other Units and removed from the 403rd's morning report.
The mission of the 403rd's Headquarters and first platoons at this time was to operate Tan My Ramp. Tan My Ramp operation consisted of off loading and back loading LST's and YFU's. The 403rd Transportation Company (TT) also had the responsibility to ship all incoming cargo out to consignees at Phu Bai and Quang Tri. Shortly after the 403rd arrived at Tan My the output of the Ramp increased to over 20,000 tons per month.
The 403rd Transportation Company (TT) also was assigned the mission of moving personnel to and from Tan My Island and Ramp. To help accomplish this mission the second platoon of the 544th Transportation Company (Medium Boat) was assigned to the 403rd.
On 24 April 1970, Captain Gerald A. Soltis assumed command. The Unit strength had changed to 5 Officers and 172 enlisted men. The mission of the 403rd Transportation Company (TT) remained identical to that stated earlier.
On 11 July 1970 Captain Bruce B. Cary assumed command. The Unit strength had increased to 5 Officers and 238 enlisted personnel. The mission had not changed, but operations had increased to 30,000 tons per month.
In December 1970 the 403rd Transportation Company (TT) was assigned the additional mission of operating Don Ha Ramp. The operation was small, but by the end of December Don Ha Ramp averaged over 10,000 tons of cargo.
The 403rd Transportation Company (TT) had proved beyond any shadow of doubt that they possessed a certain inherent flexibility which could meet any challenge that circumstances might dictate. The 403rd Transportation Company (TT) received great praise from the 26th General support Group Commander and the United States Army Support Command, Da Nang for its outstanding performance.
