The best way (other than the "Order of Battle Vietnam" book) is knowing what division it was assigned to. And divisions moved around a lot in South Vietnam; if the 158th was with the 101st Abn Div (Ambl) in '70, '71 then it was in I Corps at Phu Bai (which had Camp Eagle & Camp Evans as part of the Phu Bai command).
the US Army's 2nd maint bn was stationed at vung tau until aug 69 when it moved to I corps. HQ and main support co was stationed at the phu bai airport- which is now an international airport.
