Bao Trai

Bell Compound MAC V
(Military Assistance Command Vietnam)

Bell Compound is the living area that we lived in within the town of Bao Trai and worked out of each day, located in the middle of the town. It was occupied by our platoon; an approx. platoon sized, (20-30) element of signal guys; and a group of soldiers who were assigned to command headquarters in Saigon, Called MAC V, and came directly under the big brass; Gen. Westmoreland and company. (about 30-40 guys) The town of Bao Trai was a province/ district headquarters. A meeting town for the big brass from all V.N. and U.S. agencies.
