Background

I was assigned to the OB Company, 525 MI Group from November '67, through January '69. I worked for Hq MACV, CICV. Every piece of paper I have, says; "Hq. MACV, CICV." I can't find any orders or pay vouchers. In any event, someone really took me to task. His position was that the OB Company belonged to the 519^th MI Battalion. Considering the structure of the 519^th, I believe he was mistaken.

I was assigned to the 519^th at Fort Bragg, and it was part of the 525^th. I have been enlightened by the information on the homepage of the 525^th MI Bde., (Airborne). The 519^th had a presence in Vietnam. For the most part, those were the folks who gathered information or extracted it from prisoners.

The current 525^th is the 525^th MI Bde., (Airborne). It is still located at Fort Bragg and has a home page at:

Right now DOD has its servers off line unless the server "knows" you. Hopefully they will find another way to deal with the problem.

Agent Orange

Nearly every soldier who went to Vietnam was exposed in some degree to Agent Orange. Agent Orange contained an extremly toxic substance which is causing a too many Vietnam Veterans to die too young and others to have significant disabilities and medical problems. Because the Vietnam Veteran had no way to know, some have passed this poison to their childen. When we came home, our society didn't want to know us and while we are better accepted today, our government does not want to know what it did to us.
