Ko Kha 
Royal Thai Air Station

Ko Kha is on the Bangkok-Chiengmai railway and at the junction of highways to Chieng Mai and Chiang Rai. A small Royal Thai Air Station  was the location of  a radar station for the Spacetrack System. The station tracked People’s Republic of China missile launches and southerly launches from the Soviet Union from Sep 1971–May 1976. No Security Police military working dogs were ever assigned. 

At the end of the American cavalry era, the Army disposed of its horses by machine gunning them to death. In our war, the dogs were treated the same way. Only it was done in a more “humane” manner. Some excess dogs were reassigned to other bases in the Pacific but most were killed. The US Military has pledged not to dispose of military working dogs in such a manner again.       Please Read   Death of a Warrior
