1st SFG(Abn) 4th Batallion:
The Group has come a long way since I was there in 1964, There were 4 Companies on Okinawa, in the Machinato area, and those 4 Companies were constantly deployed TDY to Vietnam, & other AOR's Korea, Thiland, Phillipines and Japan Okinawa was not returned to the Japanese untill the Carter Administration. In 1974 1st SFG(Abn) was deactivated along with other groups leaving only 3 active Groups, The 5th, the 7th and the 10 SFG(Abn). It was stood up again in March,1984 witha a Batallion sent to Torii Station Okinawa, now Japan. It is good news that the 4th Batallion is being added to the 1st GP. now located at FT. Lewis- McCord base in Tacoma, WA. BEST WISHES for SUCCESS, Regard's, Tom Kelly " C Company, First in the First".
