During Vietnam war, the 85th Evacuation Hospital arrived in the harbor of Qui Nhon on August 31st 1965 from Fort Bliss, Texas and was located about 10 miles west of Qui Nhon at Valley \"A\" in Phu Thanh. Ten days later, on September 10, 1965, the hospital was relocated to Qui Nhon. The hospital was constructed of tents upon its arrival in Qui Nhon, but Quonset huts gradually replaced the tents. On April 15, 1966, the bed capacity of the 85th Evacuation Hospital in Qui Nhon was increased from 400 to 600 beds along with a personnel increase. Then, in October 1966, the bed capacity was reduced again to 400 beds and the personnel augmentation withdrawn due to the arrival of the 67th Evacuation Hospital. In November of 1968 the 85th Evacuation Hospital moved from Qui Nhon to Phu Bai and became operational on December 5th 1968. It remained on station until deactivated in December 1971.
