Detachment A5/1 (redesignated A5/214 on 1/8/65) closed Ban Don, which they had taken over from A-752 after the 1964 Montagnard revolt, and relocated to Suoi Doi o/a 1/1/65. Suoi Doi was disbanded on 3/24/65, after a major battle at the Man Yang Pass and the USASF assets went to Plateau Gi (A-243). Ban Don was later re-opened as Trang Phuc (A-233). The PCS A- Detachment at Dong Tre (see A-222) in early '65 was originally designated A-231 and reported to B-23 at Ban Me Thuot. When it was shifted to the control of B-22, it was redesignated A-222. The number remained open until applied to the camp at Tieu Atar opened a/o 12/11/67.
