The Company was activated at Ft. Lee, Virginia on July 5, 1966, as part of the 96th Supply and Services Battalion. The Battalion history can be viewed via a link in the "Links" area. In September of 1966, the Company moved to Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam, by way of five C130 aircraft, the last of which arrived in country on or about the 28th of September. The unit was commanded by three Commanding Officers: CPT Howard Daniel, Jr., CPT William Steinhauer,and CPT Robert Klaver.    On or about 15 September 1968, the Company was deactivated and became Company B, Troop Command.  (anyone with any additional history of the unit is encouraged to add to this)

Ribbons and Patches
The 575th was awarded the Meritorious Unit Citation for the period 29 Sep 1966 - 1 Jun 1967.  Anyone who served with the company during this entire period is entitled to the ribbon.  It is comparable to the individual Legion of Merit.  If anyone wants the MUC ribbon ($1.55) or the 1st Logistical Command patches, colored ($2.70 for 2) and camoflauged (similar price), they are available from Steve Kilde.  Contact me for his address or telephone number.

The caps are identical to the last batch, except they have a 2007 price (of course).  And the USPS wants more (of course).  Net price of caps is $11.00.  One cap, ppd., is $15.00.  Two caps, ppd, is $26.30.
