Narrative Information: A 1st SFG(A) TDY team, A1/212, established a camp at Luong Son (AKA Luong Thien) Hoa Da District, Binh Thuan Province, in the vicinity of the former VNSF Training Center at Song Mao. This team started at An Tuc with an Apache Force, went to Song Mao and its satellite Phi Ho to train a CIDG force, and then opened the camp at Luong Son before returning to Okinawa. This team, as well as earlier TDY teams from the 1st SFGA, are listed in a previously published monograph. A1/212 was replaced by A7/7 o/a 01/08/66 and A7/7 was redesignated A-237. The camp was turned over to RF/PF on 08/03/68.
