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.

Welcome to Jim Henthorn's Vietnam Vet Page!

Preliminary Map Scanning Completed as of 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 - Min Size should be 11" X 17" to properly print out.

This diamond when clicked on will produce a pop up with pictures and a written history for this location.  This has been very well done and is a work still in progress.....
