NKP Commandos

Introduction

Nakhon Phanom Royal Thai Air Force Base (NKP RTAFB), Thailand was
located approximately 350 miles northeast of Bangkok. The installation was
operated continuously from the early 1960s to approximately 1976. From this
location, personnel supported several U.S. Agencies in conducting what became
known as "The Secret War". The dangerous missions, carried out in Laos,
Cambodia and Vietnam resulted in many aircraft and personnel being lost. The
installation, known simply as NKP, or Naked Fanny is gone. Today it is the airport
for the city of Nakhon, Phanom, Thailand. This website will give you a glimpse
into the Secret War, and the world of Special Operations.
