This is the Active Duty ROMAD
site.
http://www.romad.com/index.php
This site is set up and run by Charlie Heidal
for use by the
CURRENT ROMAD's and
TACP teams's that are on
ACTIVE DUTY
in the
USAF. Several areas are
off limits to non active duty service people since these men are overseas
fighting in the major conflicts, but most of the site is not pass word
protected. He has a lot of excellent information on today's ROMAD's
including the schools and training that are required to become a ROMAD.
This includes all of the training that one must under go, plus the duty they
perform. If you are a ex-ROMAD and wish to contact Charlie for access to the
full site, follow the rules on his page to get your login and password.

"I'll be adding vintage maps of the remaining
areas of
Thailand in the near future as I get them done!" Please note that this is a very large site
and the maps of Vietnam are very detailed thus they are large files to download.
This is still a work in progress and will be for many years to come. These maps are excellent for
detailed research of / on the war. Yes, these maps are printable if your
