The best way (other than the "Order of Battle Vietnam" book) is knowing what division it was assigned to. And divisions moved around a lot in South Vietnam; if the 158th was with the 101st Abn Div (Ambl) in '70, '71 then it was in I Corps at Phu Bai (which had Camp Eagle & Camp Evans as part of the Phu Bai command).

The ARVN's may have had some regiments by that number; but not the US. The only US Army (Marines didn't use em) Airborne Divisions and Brigades in Vietnam were: 1. 82nd Abn 2. 173rd Abn 3. 101st Abn (Ambl) US Special Forces are not counted. The 101st Abn was technically an Airmobile Division in Vietnam. There was actually controversy in Vietnam on whether or not the 101st shoulder patch should be changed to read (on the tab) AIRMOBILE instead of AIRBORNE. As any active duty servicemember can tell you, they still read "Airborne."
