In
January,
1962, 42 Marines from the 1st
Composite Radio Company, FMF, designated Sub-Unit #1, 1st Composite
Radio Company, were the first U.S. Marines to participate in the
ongoing build-up which was to become the Vietnam war. This unit was to
evolve, becoming the 1st Radio Battalion. Our mission was to gather
information about the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army through radio
intercept and radio direction finding
operations and use that knowledge for both
offensive and defensive fighting
purposes.
This Web site is dedicated to bringing us back together through
pictures and stories;
reconnecting us to each other and the pride we felt in doing a job
well.  means "Know for Sure". See

Composite Radio Co. shield story in guestbook. Our roll call is now1590
