509th Engr. Co PB (Attached)

Thanks to SGT Glen Cooper

The 509th Engr. Co. was a PB company (Panel Bridge) I know this because, I was a Sgt. in the 3rd Sqd. 3rd Plt. I served with the 509th from 03/66 to 03/67. The Company was split up in spring of 67, HC Plt,1st Plt, and 2nd plt. Where sent to Pkeiku, because the need our 5 ton dumps. 3rd Plt was attached to the 554th Engr Co., because our 5 ton dumps where need to support the 84th. Also the 554th had just arrived in country, and need people to train them, should I say orient them to Nam. Our moral was low, we got all of 554th, crap details. We where moved out of the new wooded buildings, back to tents, behind the MP's motor pool. The 509th built the bailey bridge (panel bridge) used by the 84th, in Operation Duke. The company suffered heavy causalities when we returned to remove the bridge. Charlie mortared the crap out of us. By the way did they ever level, that air strip out, if I remember it had a pretty good slope to it
