Keep in mind, that during those times in the 20th century, ANYWHERE a major US warship went, there was a detachment of US Marines on board. Consequently, anytime and anywhere a large US warship (Battleship, Aircraft Carrier, Cruiser) hit port or any foreign land, US Marines could be involved.
In the meantime, there was heavy combat going on in '62, the brand new all aluminum M-113 Armored Personnel Carrier (APC, and future ACAV=Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicle) had just been fielded for combat testing in RVN; along with the new M-114 Scout vehicle (which failed it's combat trials/land mines virtually blew them in half); the USAF F-100 Super Sabres and F-101 Voodoo jets were making their combat runs, as well as new helicopters such as the CH-21 Shawnee, which would fight on until being replaced by the UH-1 Iroquois (Huey). US Marines would be flying the CH-34 Choctaw (Sea Horse versions), again, until replaced by the US Marine Corps CH-46 Sea Knight and UH-1 Iroquois (Huey). US Marines were functioning as advisors, special operations, and airbase security. The RVN government had an Army and a Marine Corps created in the USMC's image. The USMC was helping to build their counterpart up.

Af form 2282?
This form documents that the use of Government quarters and/or mess would adversely affect the mission while on official TDY. The form requires signatures of the traveler, approving official and the unit/TDY commander. Most TDYs are accomplished using DTS, so this form is not always necessary for DTS travel claims; it is used mostly for reservist and deployment travel. The installation commander is the approving authority for missed meals in the USAFCENT Area of Responsibility
Operation safe side provided security police with?
Operation Safe Side is an airbase defense program of the United States Air Force begun during the Vietnam War. Because the USAF was responsible for the defense of its own airbases in South Vietnam but had no recent institutional experience to draw from, Safe Side was implemented to test aggressive tactics against an opponent in the field. The 1041st Security Police Squadron (Test) was drawn from volunteers and trained by Army Rangers at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, in the second half of 1966. In January 1967 it deployed to Phu Cat Air Base, Vietnam, then still under construction, where it performed reconnaissance and ambush patrols outside the perimeter until July 1967. Its members then helped train three successor units, called combat security police squadrons (CSPS). Organized as the 82nd Combat Security Police Wing, these were the 821st, 822nd, and 823rd CSPS, successively trained at Schofield Barracks and at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Beginning in 1968 with the 821st CSPS, each squadron of more than 500 men performed up to 179 days of temporary duty (TDY) in Vietnam, based at Phan Rang Air Base but with detachments of an officer and 32 CSPs deployed at air bases throughout the country. As the war drew down, the TDYs ended with the second deployment of the 821st. Reduced to a force of 250 men, the 821st CSPS became part of the USAF allotment in Vietnam until its deactivation in late 1971. The Safe Side tradition continues today in the USAF Security Forces combat-deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.
