US Army Dustoff Vietnam
237th Med. Det. (DMZ Dustoff )
The 237th was one of the last Dustoff units to arrive in VN and one of the last to leave, arriving November, 1968, and departing in May, 1973. The unit was based at Camp Evans, Quang Tri, Phu Bai, Khe Sanh (during Lam Son 719, in Laos, where they sustained heavy casualties to both men and equipment), Qui Nhon and Lane Army Airfield. In 1973, the 237th flew the Hueys that were painted all white with the red cross in a very controversial move that was meant to reduce the losses of the crews and aircraft of these unarmed Air Ambulances. Leaflets were dropped all over the AO notifying the enemy that these were unarmed helicopters used solely for medical evacuation. Unfortunately, the white paint only made them easier targets, with losses increasing instead of decreasing.
