Lessons Learned, Headquarters, US Army Support Command, Qui Nhon
Abstract
Throughout the 92 days of the reporting period, the United States Army Support Command, Qui Nhon, continued its logistical operations supporting combat units within the II Corps tactical zone. The command was subjected to a number of attacks as well as rail and highway interdictions, and experienced an appreciable amount of trouble with the petroleum pipeline through pilferage and enemy action, but at no time was the command's support capability seriously impaired. Enemy activity during May, June, and July remained relatively light, although a sapper attack on the Qui Nhon Ammunition Base Depot (ABD) was attempted on 11 July. Damage was slight due to the immediate response of fire fighting crews and the failure of one of the satchel charges to detonate. This incident led to the employment of even more stringent security measures at the ABD than those which had been put into effect after the major enemy attacks there during the previous quarter. Among these new security measures was the employment of 'duffle bag' sensor devices at the ABD, Tank Farm No 2 and the Vung Chua Mountain signal site.
