During the Vietnam War, when conventional warfare tactics weren't
proving enough to eliminate Communist insurgency, the U.S. Army
implemented small unit operations to take a new kind of fight to
the enemy. Five to six man Long Range Patrol teams, composed of
specially trained young enlisted soldiers, went behind enemy lines
to gather intelligence on Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army
units, capture POWs, or set deadly ambushes that unnerved the enemy
in their once-thought-secure jungle sanctuaries. These Long Range
Patrol or LRP teams would lead to the re-establishment of the 75th
Infantry Ranger Companies in combat and would carry on the proud
history and legacy of the U.S. Army Rangers. It would also earn
them a coveted place in special operations units, at times at a
painful and deadly cost. In this remarkably humble, first-hand
account, Seymour covers what it took to do 54 LRP/Ranger missions
behind the lines, and the dozens of team insertions and white
knuckle extractions that he took part in. In The Jungle... Camping
with the Enemy offers a unique and personal insight from an
extraordinary soldier and those who served as LRP/Rangers with the
U.S. Army First Air Cavalry Division.
