Long Binh. 59th Ordnance Brigade. Vietnam Veteran.
Behind every round fired in Vietnam, there was an ordnance soldier making sure it got there. The 59th Ordnance Brigade at Long Binh Post — the largest US military installation in Vietnam — was responsible for the storage, delivery, maintenance, and control of conventional and special ammunition for US forces and Allied NATO countries throughout the war. This premium 15oz black ceramic mug honors those veterans with the brigade SSI and Vietnam service ribbon.
The Arsenal Behind the Fight.
With more than 6,500 soldiers at its peak, the 59th Ordnance Brigade managed one of the most complex and critical logistics missions of the Vietnam War — including the control of Nuclear and Chemical munitions ("special ammo") for US Forces and Allied NATO countries. The soldiers who served at Long Binh kept the force armed, equipped, and ready under some of the most demanding conditions of the entire conflict. Their Vietnam service ribbon represents that commitment.
