The 402nd Transportation Company (Terminal Transfer Service), known as "The Duce", joined the 4th Transportation

Command

from Fort Campbell Kentucky during October 1966. It was initially assigned to the 11th Transportation Battalion

and was billeted

at Long Binh Post in an area called TC Hill. Initially, the 402nd was assigned to work the Than Tuy Ha and

Binh Trieu discharge

sites. In July 1967, the 124th Transportation Company (Terminal Service) assumes responsibility for the

Thanh Tuy Ha discharge

site from the 402nd Transportation Company. In September 1967, the 402nd assumes control and

operation of the Ho Nai

Railhead. In February 1968, the 402nd turned over responsibility of the Binh Trieu discharge site to the

Army of the Republic of

Vietnam. In April 1968, the 402nd completes movement from TC Hill to Camp Camelot, Long Binh

Post. In May 1968, the 402nd

opens a new general cargo discharge site at Dong Nai. In June of 1968, the 402nd is reassigned

from the 11th Transportation

Battalion to the 71st Transportation Battalion. Concurrently, operational control of the Buu

Long, Cogido, Dong Nai Barge

Discharge Sites and Ho Nai Railhead transferred from the 11th Transportation to the 71st

Transportation Battalion. Later, the

402nd was reassigned back to the 11th Transportation Battalion, and then to the 159th

Transportation Battalion, but never leaving

Camp Camelot on Long Binh Post.
