THE BATTALI
Aggie-ex gives account of patrol
Editor’s Note: The following
is an account of one of the
many reconaissance patrols led
by American soldiers in Viet
nam. The author, Capt. Judson
F. Rogers, is a journalism grad
uate from A&M.
“Gentlemen, as you know, dur
ing this time of year the enemy
is stepping up activity in our
area. We have reports of increas
ed activity near the post, pos
sibly bringing up supplies in prep
aration for sapper activity.” The
briefing by the intelligence offi
cer is short and to the point as
he discusses operation plans with
the assembled platoon leaders.
At first light the next day their
task is to locate enemy caches of
food and ammunition in an area
northeast of the post. The patrol
consists of four platoon size ele
ments each searching an area
about a mile and a half long by
a mile wide, with coordination
effected by a helicopter overhead.
As each platoon leader exits
the briefing, thoughts turn to the
organization and selection of per
sonnel for the patrol. Our sector
is bordered on the east by a
creek and on the west by a dirt
road. According to the map, there
is dense undergrowth with high
elephant grass near the creek, so
the going might be slow. On the
right flank, there is high elephant
grass, a swampy area and a
couple of hills, probably good for
observation and machinegun em
placement.
At 4:30 a.m. the alarm jangles
the soldiers to drowsy conscious
ness and clothes are hurriedly
pulled on by memory. Men mutter
to each other as they wind their
way among hootches on their way
to the mess hall, in the inky pre
dawn for a light breakfast.
At 5:15 a.m. the men begin as
sembling for a final check of
equipment and weapons before
departure.
Suddenly explosions are heard
nearby and those who have been
in the country for any length of
time recognize the sounds of in
coming 107 mm rockets. Minutes
later, the alert siren begins its
high-pitched wailing. A call to the
defense network is placed and

tee, though supporting an $80
million appropriation for fiscal
1970, said in its. report that it
“unequivocally ... is not willing
to buy aviation leadership at fur
ther costs to our environment.”
“The boom does not aerody-
namically affect an aircraft’s
performance,” Collier stated. But
its extreme effect on the general
public is drawing the aerospace
engineer into areas of consider
ation other than his plane, the
pilot, crew and passengers.
A currently - produced Boeing
2707, flying at standard speed
and altitude of nearly 12 miles,
causes a one pound per square
foot pressure rise behind the
shock wave.
According to research, this ap
proximates the sound of thunder
which is tolerable. Collier stated.
The same plane, climbing at
27,000 feet only 15 minutes after
takeoff, produces a pressure rise
of 3.75 pounds per square foot,
he calculated, “damaging win
dows and equally susceptible ma
terials directly below the flight
path.”
word is passed that four of the
rockets came from the direction
of the sector to be searched. In
telligence data seems to be about
enemy activity, and chances
should be good for finding enemy
caches in the area.
At 5:30 a.m. the men scramble
into two-and-a-half-ton trucks
and begin the bone-jarring trip
to the perimeter. Upon arrival, a
check is made with the guard tow
er to make sure they know a
friendly patrol is to pass through
their area. Word has been re
ceived and the bunker nearest
the exit road is expecting the
patrol.
One trooper manning the bunk
er line, in an effort to be helpful,
volunteers: “We been hearing
people outside the perimeter all
night. Sounds like they been driv
ing stakes in the ground or some
thing. A couple of flares went
off, but we didn’t see movement
close enough to effectively en
gage.”
Taking into consideration this
last bit of information the de
parture through the perimeter is
delayed about 15 minutes, until
visibility improves.
“Let’s move out.” The word is
given as the first rays of sun be
gan creeping over the horizon,
trucks exit the perimeter belch
ing clouds of thick black smoke.
Five minutes later the men
leave the trucks as the rutted
road gives way to dense under
growth. The platoon must walk
about half a mile yet to reach the
line of departure.
After several minutes of walk
ing through dense foliage, heavy
automatic fire erupts about 1,000
meters away. The patrol freezes
and watches as tracers arch and
richochet into the sky. Many look
back as if to say, “What next?”
The patrol begins its forward
movement as the fire died down.
Moments later fire erupts again,
punctuated with heavier explo
sions like that of handgrenades
or a grenade launcher. This time
there is no looking back and the
patrol continues its forward
movement through dense under
growth.
Twenty minutes later the pa
trol crosses a waist deep creek
and radios that the line of de
parture has been reached. The
platoon is beginning its mission
as the sun comes into full view
overhead.
Soon the command helicopter
appears to begin its job of trac
ing the location of each platoon-
size element. Three of the four
units will meet near the center of
the search zone and it is impor
tant that each unit be able to
monitor the movements of others
via the helicopter.
The men sweat profusely as the
sun continues its swift climb
overhead. The going is rough
through the elephant grass and
many times men are mired waist
deep in muddy water with slime
clinging to fatigues.
While awaiting pickup, flank
security is established and per
sonnel relax with small talk as
the tension built up during the
patrol slowly dissipates.
