This is an attempt to list all of the men who were in the 2nd Platoon, 101st Radio Research Company. It also tries to identify when they were in the platoon and when they were in any other platoon or unit in Vietnam. We have gathered these names and dates from individuals and from whatever written records we have been able to locate. Some of the dates are verified, from arrival to departure; some are estimated based on listings in rosters and orders which give us a single date, and some are speculation from other members. If you know of a correction to be made or a name to be added, please go to the Contact page and let us know.
A separate roster, for all 7th RRU and 101st RRC personnel is available at https://snakeplatoon.com/7th-rru-101st-rrc-roster/.
