On August 15, 1964, the Naval Communications Station Philippines (NCSP) Det Alfa at Phu Bai, RVN was established.

NCSP was established at that site circa 1957, and had existed in some form at Sangley Point before then. Both the Marines and Navy had personnel assigned to Phu Bai prior to the official establishment of the Det and intercepts from Phu Bai were among those related to the Gulf of Tonkin incident that marked our serious involvement in Vietnam.

Later on, NCSP would establish other detachments in Vietnam, two in Da Nang (Bravo and Delta), and one short-lived detachment (Charlie) in Saigon.
