This is
one of 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.

Vietnam War Resources
These are
excellent listing of all of the combat operations
within Vietnam. These two archives / listing should be a must if you are doing any
kind of research on this war.
The first resource is from the Georgia Tech Research Library
. This is by far one of the largest offerings for
research on the web. This site has so many links on their page
that it is just unreal. You may connect to this resource at:
http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~tpilsch/Vietnam.html
The
Second resource that is highly recommended is that of The Vietnam
Center and Archive of the Texas Tech University
. This site is also very large but has
more oral history in it. This site which may be found at this address:
www.vietnam.ttu.edu
If you are doing any kind of research on the
war, then you should be able to find it at these two resources
above.

Another very good site to
visit and discuss or search for others.

The Map Section.
All Maps are at 1 : 250,000
resolution or scale.
That means big files
that are very large to download.

10/30/2001.
Indexing of
place names is not complete. "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 have a large enough printer and
paper - Size should be at least 13" X 17" to properly
print out these maps in full color.
