M14s?

I think the troops who cleared the tunnels are the most crazy motherfuckers ever
cant imagine a more nightmare scenario

...

...

yes.

One of McNamara's few good projects was the replacement of that thing with the M16.

This is a recording of two Recon Teams (RT's) who are in dire straits. Both RT's are loosing a battle wherby death is immenient. Those RT's are: RT Colorado with Pat Mitchel being the 1-0, Lyn St. Laurent as the 1-1, and David "Lurch" Mixter as the 1-3. RT Colorado is an eight man team including the five Indigenous troops. The other was RT Hawaii with Les Dover as the 1-0, Regis Gmitter the 1-1, and John Justice the 1-2.

It is unknown to me how many indigenous troops made up RT Hawaii at that time. RT Colorado is the team that is running for its life. RT Hawaii is holding their own. Both RT's have called out a "Prairie Fire" in Laos near the Ho Chi Minh Trail and are approximately 10 miles apart as the crow flies.

Colorado has just been hit by a North Vietnamese platoon of 40 men who desire no more than to wipe this team completely off the face of the Earth.

During this Prairie Fire, David Mixter is killed when he saves Mitchel's life by shoving him to one side and exchanging fire with an NVA armed with an RPG. Mixter and the NVA exchange fire immediately. The NVA fires his RPG as Mixter fires his weapon. The RPG hits Mixter in the knee area and kills him instantly as the NVA drops dead by Mixter's return Fire.

Operation Linebacker II

On 26 December 120 bombers took off to strike Thái Nguyên, the Kinh No complex, the Duc Noi, Hanoi, and Haiphong Railroads, and a vehicle storage area at Văn Điển. 78 of the bombers took off from Andersen AFB in one time block, the largest single combat launch in SAC history, while 42 others came in from Thailand. The bombers were supported by 113 tactical aircraft which provided chaff corridors, escort fighters, Wild Weasel SAM suppression, and electronic countermeasures support.
The North Vietnamese air defense system was overwhelmed by the number of aircraft it had to track in such a short time period and by a dense blanket of chaff laid down by the fighter-bombers. 250 SAMs had been fired from 18 until 24 December, and the strain on the remaining North Vietnamese inventory showed, since only 68 were fired during the mission. One B-52 was shot down near Hanoi and another damaged aircraft made it back to U-Tapao, where it crashed just short of the runway. Only two members of the crew survived.

We already had a Vietnam Thread.
You should read the Catalog.

Do you, as the OP, have some discussion point OR do you just think you are so cool that you discovered CCR and can post a duplicate Thread?

Just Golly

I think those might be navy aircrewmen.

You're right, I just checked.

Might explain how they got a good stash of liqour going on.

If they were smart they'd sell it to the grunts for top dollar or souvenirs

August 11, 1967.

The Doumier Bridge carries highway and railroad traffic across the Red River in the north-east section of Hanoi, vital to the movement of war material from Communist China to the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces in South Vietnam. The only Red River span within thirty miles [48 km] of Hanoi, it and its approaches are guarded by SAM sites, automatic weapons sites, and more than 100 37 mm, 57 mm and 85 mm anti-aircraft cannon sites. And the entire MiG force is well within range of the target area.

If we don't knock out the bridge on the first try, the defences probably will get even tighter. It will take pinpoint precision to hit the 38 ft [11.5 m] width of the mile-long [1,800 m] span and not damage the nearby civilian areas.

My Wolfpack F-4Cs join KC-135 tankers . . . and F-105s from Takhli's 355th TFW and Korat's 388th TFW. Each "Thud" is heavily loaded with one 3,000 lb [1,360 kg] bomb under each wing and a centerline drop tank, instead of the usual six 750-pounders [340 kg] and 450-gallon [2,045 litre] drop tank under each wing. From Ubon to Hanoi, the weather is clear with visability unlimited all the way.

Ahead of us are the EB-66s, whose job is to identify and jam enemy radar, along with F-105s which will go after the anti-aircraft sites. Behind are RF-101s and RF-4Cs of the 11th and 432nd Tactical Reconnaissance Squadrons. After we've pulled off the target but while the enemy is fully alerted and throwing everything he's got, they'll fly over the bridge at maximum speed and photograph the results.

As we fly down the Red River toward Hanoi - about thirty miles [48 km] from target - seven SAMs are fired at our F-4s. But we evade them, as well as the heavy AAA fire. Twenty miles [32 km] from the target, four MiGs pass 200 ft [60 m] below the flak suppression force of F-105s but, strangely, don't try to engage them. We and the F-105s keep formation and refuse to jettison our bombs, contrary to the MiGs wishes. We're frequently glancing over our shoulder at the trailing MiGs', wondering whether we'll have to cut in our afterburners to outrun them.

Now the flak is even heavier and, as one pilot remarks, "we're trying to run several blocks in a rainstorm without letting a drop hit us." We're engulfed in the black smoke of 85 mm bursts. More SAMs, but there's little point in evasive action against one site only to be hit by another. As the force starts down the bomb run, hundreds of 37 mm and 57 mm guns open up on us. Aircraft are hit but not downed.

The first group of F-105s is jinking hard off the target and pulling away. We can see their 3,000 pounders walking across the bridge. The center span falls into the Red River. Now we go in and blast the 85 mm sites. Lietenant Colonel Harry W. Schurr, leading the third group - the 388th Thuds - sees their 3,000-pounders "popping like big orange balls" as they hit the bridge. Another span has been dropped.

More SAMs narrowly miss the force as we turn hard right, reassemble at Thud Ridge, the best known checkpoint in the air war, and head for the waiting tankers. Every aircraft is recovered safely, although several have taken serious hits.

Blackman and Robin.

I was once directed [on March 30, 1967] to drop bombs on the blast furnaces at Thai Nguyen in daylight, in bad weather. It was a very fascinating trip. We sneaked in when the visibility was about three-quarters to one mile at the most, let down in a part of the map where it says "relief data inaccurate." That was very encouraging.

We were some 1,200 feet below the reported tops of the mountains that were all around us before I saw the ground. We immediately had to pull up over a crest, then back down the other side. Anyway, we made it down through the clouds, broke out at 800 feet over the Red River. It was on time-and-distance - 3,500 feet hills half a mile behind us. Three of us proceeded into the target at about twenty feet. They didn't start shooting at us until we were about fifteen miles out. That's where the first perimeter of guns were. They weren't worried. They knew we were coming, they knew where we were going - they had it all figured out.

The first two bullet holes through my airplane [we were flying at twenty feet at 550 knots] were from the top to the bottom. They were shooting from rock hummocks which were all around. It was very difficult, under these particular circumstances, to surprise anybody.

Phantom's are beautiful birds.
Shame they're retiring even the QF-4's.
