The 483rd TCG transported personnel and supplies by C-119 s from Japan to Korea. During the final months of the conflict, it alternated with the 314th TCG to airdrop supplies to a detachment of the 502nd Tactical Control Group, located on a five thousand-foot mountain near Chongmong-ni. In late June 1953, the 483rd TCG airlifted reinforcements and cargo to areas behind the western half of the UN line.

Comments: My name is Denise Smith. My Father is the late Byron B. Smith. He passed away April 30, 2013. I am searching for friends and those he served with him. He was a Staff Sergent and medic at Ashiya and Haiphong, Indochina. I am also searching for any of his band members. He had a band called the Happy Valley (Boys) Band. My dad always shared his military memories with me and I loved hearing them. I would love to communicate with those who served with him. I have located one who served with him and was in his band. Please contact me if you would, please anyone serving with him. Thank You, Denise Smith. His nickname was Smitty.
