Dong Ba Thin Base Camp was established on
Highway 1 at Dong Ba Thin, 4 km northwest of Cam Ranh Base and 22 km south of
Nha Trang in 1964. The base comprised several different adjacent facilities: Dong Ba Thin Airfield, a short asphalt runway army airfield; Dong Ba Thin Heliport (also known as
Flanders Army Heliport) on the west side of the airfield and the Special Forces Camp. With the withdrawal of US and New Zealand forces from South Vietnam in 1972-3, the training mission was taken over by the
Army of the Republic of Vietnam. ==Current use==
