52nd SECURITY DETACHMENT
  52nd Security Detachment (Infantry) occupies a unique position among the other companies of 52nd Avaition Battalion (Combat). It is the only infantry company in the battalion. It was originally organized under GO #742, reorganized under GO #396, further changed under TDA P5W1ZJ2AAOO dated 4 September 1966 and assigned to the 52nd Aviation Battalion (Combat). Since it is an infantry company, all that pertain to the internal and external security of Camp Holloway and the Kontum Airfield is shouldered by the unit.
  In executing it's mission, bunkers are manned, and reconnaissance and ambush patrols are conducted by men of the three Rifle Platoons. Mortar fire support is provided by the men of the Mortar Platoon. Aiding the Rifle Platoon in carrying out their mission, the men of 68th Infantry Detachment (Radar) monitor ground surveillance equipment at three radar sites. Plus whenever directed illumination is needed on the perimiter, it can be provided by the Searchlight Section. To coordinate all of these activities is the responsibility of the men who operate Camp Holloway Comand Operations Center.
   To detect movement along the entire perimiter, a radar sensoring device has been installed and it is operated and maintained by a team. To regulate the movement of personnel into and out of Camp Holloway and Kontum Airfield is the responsibility of the Security Police.
  Protection is what 52nd Security Detachment is to provide. And since it's inception it has offered the best possible protection always.
