Like a number of others who have served in the 228th, I simply went on with my life. Order of Battle American Forces - World War I - New River Notes Lineage [ edit] Constituted 5 July 1918 in the National Army as the 28th Field Artillery and assigned to the 10th Division. An example, I guess of Non Hostile Friendly Fire. Since the bulk of equipment for Laundry was being used full time in Cu Chi, there was no laundry equipment available to satisfy the needs of Tay Ninh Base Camp, let alone outlying areas. It being a virtual impossibility to recover remains by ground troops, due to heavy VC fortifications, tunnels and other throughout the entire mountain complex. On March 12, 1879, Governor Henry Hoyt signed General Order Number One appointing Maj. Gen. John Hartranft as the first division commander of the National Guard of Pennsylvania, and the most storied and renowned division in the history of the U.S. Army was born. There was no tape, so if you made an error and the totals didnt jibe, then youd have to do the whole calculation all over again, start to finish. Oddly a review of altered Morning Reports beginning in May 1967 June 1967, indicates that MAJ. Jerry E. Ward was never assigned or attached to the 228th, yet his orders for rotation and his name appears on the 228th Morning Report as an Assigned Loss by orders generated by HHC 266th Supply and Service Battalion (DS) in mid June 1967. Friday - 1st December 19446. }, Late December 1966 Company B, 588th was given the mission to upgrade the base camp at Tay Ninh and construct approximately six kilometers of perimeter road from Grid Coordinates XT 129504 to XT 160553. division or regiment. That being the case, and not desirous of digging through piles of HHC 266th orders and paperwork, morning reports, rosters and other, it is my suspicion, that the review board to save time and effort, simply decided that the Bakery Section TDY in Cu Chi must also belong to the 228th as well. The next order of business assigned the Company was to build the wooden Battalion Mess Hall, followed by the clearing and construction of an area for the Orderly Room with two inline wooden structures directly behind the Orderly Room for the personnel of what had been Company B, 266th (see following regarding 20 July 1966), all completed on or about 25 July 1966. I had an additional 5 months of active duty to serve before I was discharged from active service in July of 1968. Instead, the assigned units of these three enlisted were notified by field phone, as was HQ 266th S&S Battalion. I cannot remember his name, but the Battalion Commander was a Lt. Col and a somewhat crusty older man who was quite fair and hardly bothered us about anything. I was in the lead truck and I couldnt see a darn thing, and the last thing I wanted to do was run over some of the Infantry guys who slept alongside the roadway. It further accounts for no recall of countryside, photos or other between Vung Tau along Route 15, which was rolling and steep terrain, if not extremly hazardous in nature, as per Lt. Walkers recall. As such, the 228th L&B Platoon attached to the 25th S&T Battalion were also awarded the citation. I had definitively recalled being aboard a C123, shoulder to shoulder with a number of troopers. Class I was handling, transporting, turning over well over 85,000 C-Rations per day. 422nd .
