Book Synopsis Contact Charlie Company Headhunter Platoon by : Joseph Hair
Download or read book Contact Charlie Company Headhunter Platoon written by Joseph Hair and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-22 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: US Army Paratroopers from the elite 173rd Airborne Brigade (SEPERATE) were the first US Army Combat Soldiers to enter South Vietnam in May 1965. Surviving in the jungles of The Central Highlands of II Corps not only involved enemy contact with the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong soldiers. Learning survival skills in the jungle environment was taxing both physically, and mentally, for one of the US Army's most highly decorated units, with more Medal of Honor recipients than any combat unit of similar size during The Vietnam War. "Contact Charlie" Company of the 173rd Airborne Brigade's 1st Battalion 503rd Airborne Infantry lived in the jungles of The Central Highlands for extended periods of time, surviving off Long Range Recon Patrol (LRRP) dehydrated meals, and C-rations. They depended on the Central Highlands triple canopy jungle streams for their water supply. The paratrooper's home was a foxhole and his supplies were carried on his back in a "rucksack". The paratroopers would stay in the Central Highlands mountainous jungles for several weeks before returning to the rear base camps for stand down and re-supplying for the next mission. The only way out of the jungle, and the paratrooper's assigned one-year tour of duty, were to be either killed-in-action, wounded-in-action, or to endure the mission as designated by the US Army Chain Of Command.Operations by paratroopers of "The Herd" are contained within this book and YouTube video links to Combat Operations in South Vietnam by The "Sky Soldiers" of The 173rd Airborne Brigade (SEPARATE), a stand alone and independent brigade of US Army paratroopers.The "Herd" paratrooper's were continuously "saddling-up" and were enemy team and "hawk" hunters on Search and Destroy missions in the largest two provinces, Kontum and Binh Dinh, of South Vietnam during 1965 to 1971.The paratroopers of The 173rd Airborne Brigade were considered to be US Army Commanding General William C. Westmoreland's "fire brigade". The "Sky Soldiers" were a quick reactionary force and operated on Search and Destroy missions in War Zone D, Dak To, and The Central Highlands, a strategic high ground that had to be held by American forces during The Vietnam War to prevent the domino effect and fall of South Vietnam to communist North Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh.The "Sky Soldier's" brotherhood and "esprit decor" continues today through various 173rd Airborne Brigade Associational chapters in the United States, Australia, and Italy. The younger "Sky Soldiers" of today have continued to prove themselves in recent combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. The common spirit existing in the members of "The Herd" prevails through inspiring enthusiasm, devotion, and strong regard for the honor of the airborne groups and this reflects greatly on missions of freedom for their fellow Sky Soldiers, patriotism, and The United States of America and for all freedom loving Americans, and their allies."Airborne, All The Way".

Book excerpt: Although this book is a work of fiction, it is based on actual events. John Gross lived through those events. He commanded a mechanized infantry company that fought in Bien Hoa City on the first day of the Tet Offensive. I was one of his soldiers that day.

Download or read book 32 Battalion written by Piet Nortje and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2010-11-05 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every war has at least one - a unit so different, so daring, that it becomes the stuff of which legends are made and heroes are born. Among the South African forces fighting in Angola from 1975 to 1989, that unit was 32 Battalion. Founded in utmost secrecy from the vanquished remnants of a foreign rebel movement, undefeated in 12 years of front-line battle, feared by enemies that included both conventional Cuban armies and Namibian guerrilla fighters, the Buffalo Soldiers became the South African army’s best combat unit since World War II, with no fewer than 13 members winning the highest decoration for bravery under fire. But when peace broke out in southern Africa, the victors of Savate became the victims of sophistry. Their fate and future determined by politicians who understood little and cared less about this truly unique fraternity, 32 Battalion ceased to exist in 1993, its short history and long list of battle honours known only to those whose enemies called them Os Terriveis - the Terrible Ones. Now, for the first time, the story of 32 Battalion can be told in full, with neither adornment nor apology, by one of its longest-serving members. The book draws from top secret documents, revealing information that has never been made public before. Also included are rare photographs that evoke the colourful, and often controversial, history of 32 Battalion, as well as detailed maps depicting specific operations and deployments.

Book excerpt: They were the biggest Ranger company in Vietnam, and the best. For eighteen months, John L. Rotundo and Don Ericson braved the test of war at its most bloody and most raw, specializing in ambushing the enemy and fighting jungle guerillas using their own tactics. From the undiluted high of a "contact" with the enemy to the anguished mourning of a fallen comrade, they experienced nearly every emotion known to man--most of all, the power and the pride of being the finest on America's front lines.
