During the Vietnam War, the United States Marine Corps (USMC) employed tactical air control units to coordinate air support for ground forces. One such unit was the DREAMHOUR Tactical Air Control (TAC) (A) unit, which was responsible for providing close air support to ground troops.

The DREAMHOUR TAC (A) unit was composed of specially trained and experienced USMC personnel who worked closely with ground forces to identify and prioritize targets for air support. The unit was responsible for coordinating airstrikes and providing guidance to pilots on the location and disposition of friendly forces.

The DREAMHOUR TAC (A) unit was deployed to several locations throughout Vietnam, including Hue City and Khe Sanh. During the Battle of Hue City in 1968, the unit was instrumental in coordinating air support for US and South Vietnamese forces who were engaged in urban combat against the North Vietnamese Army.

One of the key capabilities of the DREAMHOUR TAC (A) unit was their use of forward air controllers, who were trained to operate in close proximity to ground forces and provide real-time feedback to pilots on the effectiveness of their airstrikes. The unit's use of forward air controllers helped to minimize the risk of friendly fire incidents and ensure that air support was used in the most effective manner possible.

Overall, the DREAMHOUR TAC (A) unit played a critical role in the USMC's ability to provide close air support to ground forces during the Vietnam War. Their expertise and experience in coordinating air support helped to save the lives of countless US and allied troops, and their contributions were essential to the success of many major operations throughout the conflict.
