Vietnam Era In-Country
Navy/Marine Corps MARS Stations
"November Zero Echo Foxtrot"
All of the Vietnam War in-country call signs for Navy/Marine Corps MARS began with the call letters N0EF and were lettered A-Z. Although no one has ever verified this for me, I believe the "EF" letters stood for Expeditionary Forces.
Here are the 26 stations and what I know of the various locations.

The MCB designation (Mobile Construction Battalion) for the SeaBee camps is generic because the SeaBees moved in and out, relieving as units. The hospital ships were manned by Navy personnel and Marines.
