====Troop Carrier====
In December 1964, TAC deployed a squadron of [[C-123 Provider]] assault transports from the [[464th Tactical Airlift Wing|464th Troop Carrier Wing]] at [[Pope AFB]], [[North Carolina]] to [[Clark Air Base]], Philippines, then on to [[Tan Son Nhut Air Base]], South Vietnam to set up a tactical air cargo transportation system.<ref name="multivn"/>

To support the increased military strength in Southeast Asia, TAC also began deploying its [[C-130]] equipped troop carrier (later re-designated tactical airlift) squadrons to bases in [[Okinawa Prefecture|Okinawa]] and the Philippines. In late 1965, TAC transferred two C-130 wings and two additional squadrons, a total of eight squadrons, to PACAF's [[315th Air Division]] for operations in Southeast Asia.
