Bean [email protected] Director of Public Works US Army Installation Management Command 2175 Reilly Road, Stop A Fort Bragg, North Carolina 28310-5000 Re: Determination of Eligibility of the Smith Lake Dam, Fort Bragg, Cumberland County, ER 16-0003 Dear Mr. Bean: Thank you for your letter of December 18, 2015, concerning the above-referenced undertaking. We have reviewed the Determination of Eligibility Report and offer the following comments. Fort Bragg plans to demolish and replace the Smith Lake Dam spillway and construct a low-level outlet and emergency spillway to decrease the risk of downstream flooding. The dam was recently evaluated for its association with military recreational activities at Fort Bragg and was determined ineligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The current report explores the dam’s potential eligibility for its association with the Field Artillery Replacement Training Center and its construction by soldiers in the 981st Engineer Construction Battalion during World War II. We concur with Fort Bragg’s determination that Smith Lake Dam is not eligible for listing in the National Register under Criteria A and C and the demolition of the spillway will have no effect on the property. The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation’s Regulations for Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800.

  • 196Th Assault Support Helicopter Company – “Flippers” Unit History by Darrell L
    196th Assault Support Helicopter Company – “Flippers” Unit History By Darrell L. Jaggers CW4 Ret. Administrative Officer and Unit Historian March-September 1969 Operational Pilot- March 1969– June 1970 268th Combat Aviation Battalion Assistant Operations Officer June – September 1970 Organization and movement to Vietnam: The 196th was originally constituted on 23 September 1942 as the 2037th Quartermaster Truck Company at Walla Walla, Washington. Its Vietnam service began when the unit was re-designated the 196th Assault Support Helicopter Company (ASH) on 4 May 1966 and activated at Fort Sill, OK on 3 July 1966. The first commander of the 196th ASHC was Major James E. Martin who established the company’s motto of “We Haul It All” and the call sign of “Flipper.” At that time there was a popular TV show with a dolphin named “Flipper” as the hero. Following an infusion of personnel, equipment and training, the advance party departed Fort Sill via U.S. Air Force C-130 aircraft on 20 January 1967 and arrived in Nha Trang, RVN on 21 January 1967. This party consisted of four commissioned officers, two warrant officers and thirty enlisted men who would later find themselves very busy during their first five weeks in country. Back at Alemeda, CA, the rest of the company, equipment and aircraft and the accompanying 610th Transportation Detachment (the assigned aviation maintenance detachment), who had been with the helicopters since departing Fort Sill, OK, pulled away from Alemeda, CA on 22 Feb 1967 and sailed for the Republic of Vietnam on the USS Croatan. In the meantime, the advance party had moved to Lane Army Heliport, An Son, RVN, approximately 12 miles northwest of the port city of Qhi Nhon.
