During the first half of 1969, Bravo Troop, 3rd Squadron, 4th
Cavalry, 25th Infantry Division operated northwest of Saigon in the
vicinity of Go Dau Ha, fighting in 15 actions on the Cambodian
border, in the Boi Loi Woods, the Hobo Woods and Michelin Rubber
Plantation and on the outskirts of Tay Ninh City. In that time,
Bravo Troop saw 10 percent of its average field strength killed
while inflicting much heavier losses on the enemy. This memoir
vividly recounts those six months of intense armored cavalry combat
in Vietnam through the eyes of an artillery forward observer,
highlighting his fire direction techniques and the routines and
frustrations of searching for the enemy and chaos of finding him.
