     To eliminate duplication of materials and information, the 212th MP Company (Sentry Dog) Long Binh Post Detachment pages have been incorporated into this company timeline page. Specific activities relative to it are identified with- HQ Long Binh Detachment. In addition, all page links, linked photographs and their Email links have been reformatted and updated.
