At the get-together, they recalled the unit’s heroic tradition. Accordingly, on June 1970, the unit was set up. After being dissolved, it merged with other units in the Southeastern Region in September 1973.
In the anti-American resistance war for national salvation, Unit 367 engaged in various battles, and achieved many resounding feats of arms in contribution to the building of the commandos and rangers’ traditions and arts of war in Southern battlefields.
In recent years, the association hightened the spirit of solidarity, actively supported each other and raised fund to build five gratitude houses for its poor members as well as proactively educated younger generations on the traditions of the country and the unit.
