I was a young E-4 in the seventies and before going there never heard of it . But iam very proud the have served there as a black man and to this day I consider myself also a buffalo soldier.
I enlisted in the Army, basiic in El Paso, AIT and permanent party Ft Huachuca. There I was "transferred over to ASA" and was sent to Vietnam. 1967 to 1970. I felt honored to be transferred to the ASA, receiving a TS Clearance, w/crypto, as the personnel in Vietnam were (as in Vietnam wide) were very dedicated to the Vietnam war. Not familiar with ASA I learned unit info about ASA there. A very secretive organization at the time. It took many years after being discharged, to learn about what the ASA in Vietnam and the various units occupying the country. I never used theTS/ crypto clearances never again. I did not feel safe in country even in the larger cities. But I am happy I served in the ASA.
Great video thanks! My late father was stationed there in the early 70s after his 3 tours in Vietnam,and I have many fond memories of our time there. I went to the 3rd through 6th grade there and we did a lot of hiking in the mountains and desert around the base. Dad was in CEEIA there and I still remember the orange and white unit patch painted on the mountain.
I was an MP Investigator with the CID Drug Suppression Team at Ft. Huachuca 1982-1983, medal cited that I had arrested and got full 100% convictions of 94 drug dealers from FHAZ, Huachuca City and Sierra Vista AZ. I have two Ft. Huachuca TH-cam videos that one shows area tourist sites and one from my time attached to CID. Over 30 videos in all under name of Sam Luckey, my videos are obviously military--two tours of Korea and two tours of West Germany. Sam
I was stationed there with the 40th Signal Battalion,1978-1984. My daughter trained there in 1994, as a Intel Officer. We called Ft Huachuca then, "hoochie coochie" ...
I just remembered that my dad was stationed here for a short time during ww2. QUESTION: what is it meant when a soldier is placed on "inactive duty". My dad became 40% disabled in combat at the start of ww2 while in Germany. For some reason, maybe because he was an officer (1st Leut) the Army would not discharge him and let him go home. Instead the bounced him all over the USA to different installations till the end of the war. What would an officer 40% disabled actually be doing? What kind of work? Funny he never actually said what he was doing at all these places.
I spent 75 thru 77 there, had a lot of fun. Smoked a ton of weed that we brought over from Mexico. Most of the guys i knew from Majors to privates were pot heads. The captain of the mps was the biggest coke dealer around! Lots of the mps road with the Banditos. I road with them for a short time but i got married and my wife decided i should probably stop.

I was a MP stationed there 80-82. I went to Japan as a SPC returned to the states a SSG.
I was there 2001-03 assigned to JITC. I always thought is was one of the Army's best kept secrets.
In 1972, after jump school, I attended the imagery (i.e. photo) interpretation school at Huachuca. It was the best experience of my military career.
Great job Charlie, my grandson trained as an Intelligence Analyst there.
Very interesting
Army brat 1960-61..between two tours of Germany. Went to Sierra Vista Jr. High for 8th grade.
Great piece of work!
Hey, what about all the signal units stationed there?
Capt Whitside is my wife's great-great grandfather
