Who's Who from Detachments B-13 and A-105 (Kham Duc/Nong Son) (Partial Draft)

The following is a listing of all personnel in our database, assigned to Detachments B-13 and A-105 (Kham Duc/Nong Son). If you were assigned to B-13 or A-105 or you can correct any errors or can add any names or [ESPECIALLY HELPFUL] identify the assignments for the names at the last page of the list shown as "Assignments Unknown," or if you have any rosters, please let me know by e-mail at (sherman1@flash.net) or by phone at (281) 879-5688 or join the team discussion at the Green Beret Forum. I need a picture of B-13 (B5/330) and PCS order for A-105 (A5/121), the original PCS teams. Was the B-team B13 or B-11 and that were the other numbers B-12, B-14, B-15 used for?

Narrative Information: The first PCS Detachment A5/121 (later A-105) took over the Kham Duc camp from the 7th SFG(A) team that had built the new camp there. Kham Duc was located in Hiep Duc District, Quang Tin Province. Earlier TDY teams from the 1st SFGA, listed in a previously published monograph, had maintained a camp at Kham Duc, at the old French Fort. A C&C (MACV-SOG) FOB, launch site and training area was located at Kham Duc and a PCS B Detachment came to Kham Duc for a short period of time during the first half of 1965. That B-Detachment was relocated to Hon Quan (B-33) o/o 06/25/65. A team from B-57 may have run an operation from Kham Duc in mid 1967. Kham Duc maintained an FOB at Ngoc Tavak from ? until it was overrun a few days before the main camp. Kham Duc was abandoned on 05/12/68 and re-opened at Nong Son o/a 06/01/68. The Nong Son camp was converted to 78th Border Ranger on 10/31/70.
