Senior Officer Debriefing Report: US Army Support Command, Qui Nhon

Abstract

During the past year, the QNSC continued to provide for the logistics support or approximately 90,000 Free World Forces. At the same time, the initial phase of major retrograde program was begun. Significant reductions were made in excess stocks at the QN Depot and at DSU's. The TO and E equipment of one infantry brigade and an artillery battalion was received, processed and disposed of in operation Keystone Bluejay. Other units were encouraged to turn in non- mission essential equipment. Throughout the retrograde program, strong command emphasis has been placed on the objective 'RETRO RIGHT' to maintain high standards in the care and handling of retrograde items. Concurrent with the increased retrograde program, QNSC began a major effort to consolidate logistics support facilities in order to decrease security requirements and make maximum use of a decreasing base of logistics manpower resources. Consolidation of QN depot areas, reduction of Vung Ro Bay facilities, elimination of the QN-Pleiku pipeline and pump stations, and reduction of the QN Ammunition Base Depot to an ASP are some of the major actions accomplished. Plans have been developed for additional restructuring and consolidation which will be accomplished consistent with the phased withdrawal of US forces. A final but most noteworthy accomplishment has been the success achieved by QNSC in the ARVNIZATION Program.
