not much History for the 6222nd ABS

Starting in February 1962 a Tent City was established

During 1962 Air Police were assigned to the 6222nd Air Base Squadron/Air Police

Some of the MAAG units operating in the 1962 era at Danang AB were:

777th Troop Carrier Squadron arrived in April with 16 x C-123s to support the US Special Forces Camps in Vietnam

The Mule Train C-123 unit became the 311th Troop Carrier Squadron

I believe F-104 Star Fighters were also at Danang(?)

In April of 1963 the 23d Air Base Group, Danang AB, was created to organize the USAF Advisory units

The 23rd ABG Op/AP (MAAG) relieved the 6222nd Air Base Squadron/AP (MAAG)

The 23d Air Base Group supported various USAF deployed squadrons through mid-1965

(formerly UI#150)

- - - -

partial History

Det 360 was a detachment of:

The 1035th USAF Field Activities Group (Group organized on July 7, 1959)

Redesignated 1035th Technical Operations Group June 26, 1972.

Redesignated "Air Force Technical Applications Center" or AFTAC in 1980.

Mission/Operations

Among the things that AFTAC does is to operate Filter Units that were and are used to sample air for radioactivity.

Sample is collected and sent to a central lab for analysis to determine what kind and amount of radioactive material.

This was particularly important in the era of nuclear detonation testing in the atmosphere.

AFTAC also operates a global network of seismographs for the same purpose.

Det 360 appears to have been a small lab unit that operated at Keflavik with a Det 310 being a Ground Filter Unit located at site H-2 at least in the 1960's after the Navy had taken over the former 667th AC& W SQ RADAR site for communications operation in 1961. The site and all operation was abandoned in 1970. Unknown when Det 360 ceased operations at Keflavik.
