Dục Mỹ Camp is a former Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) base northwest of Nha Trang in Khánh Hòa Province , south central Vietnam .
History [ edit ]
The base, located approximately 50 km northwest of Nha Trang, was used by the French Army in the 1950s as a training camp for the Groupement de Commandos Mixtes Aéroportés (GCMA). By 1957 it was the cantonment for the ARVN 15th Light Division. In 1961 it became a training center for ARVN rangers and artillery units.[1]
Duc My was home to the ARVN Ranger training centre and artillery school.[2]
The Dục Mỹ airfield was built as an auxiliary training field to the Republic of Vietnam Air Force Air Training Center at Nha Trang Air Base .
Current use [ edit ]
The base has reverted to housing and farmland, the airfield is still visible on satellite images.
