It was a sub-unit of US Army Vietnam and not worn as a combat patch upon returning home. We called it the slanted shit house.

( short version)
1st log cmd

The First Logistical Command is a major subordinate command under U.S. Army Vietnam. The headquarters of this unit is located on the outskirts of Saigon. The Command mission is to provide all supplies and services to include medical required by U.S. Forces in Vietnam. To assist the Log Command in the accomplishment of its mission it has assigned to it four support commands located at Da Nang, Qui Nhon, Cam Ranh Bay, and Saigon.

The Da Nang support operation has a strength of 5, 000 men. They support the Americal Division, 108th Artillery Group, and elements of the lst Cavalry, 82d and lOlst Airborne Divisions.

Qui Nhon, with a strength of 15, 000 men, sustains more than 130, 000 allied fighting men deployed throughout the II Corps Tactical Zone. Their 53-mile long fuel pipeline to An Khe saves the movement of more than 1, 700 tanker loads over 175,000 miles of roads every month. .

Cam Ranh Bay Support Command provides logistical support for a brigade of the 4th Infantry Division, the lst Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, and parts of the Korean 9th Division.

Saigon Support Command is the largest of the four commands with a strength of 22, 000 men. It supports nearly 200, 000 troops in the III and IV Corps Tactical Zones (CTZ).
