1 June 1967:
I Corps Security Plt and Sentry Dog Plt and 2 Scout Dogs plt's were put under the control of the 3rd MP Bn. ( 3 Officers and 176? Enlisted.), from the 1st MP Bn. From June 67 CC
.
Also at this same time "C" Company of 3rd MP became OPCON to the 1st MP's at DaNang and my understanding that C Company worked at the I Corps Bridge and conducted River Patrols.
Above is a photo of the 3rd MP BN around mid 1969. The entire battalion was seriously damaged on April 27, 1969 from the ASPA-1 explosions. I thinkthis photo may have been taken prior to this event, although I can't besure. This is the first aerial photo I've seen of the entire compound. Steve Snipes
