Contact on Patrol

Vietnam, US Army, 1967.

First Platoon is down a few men, but they still conduct patrols.

They are 4 clicks out from Firbase Pattie.

They have just taken a few rounds and first and second squads are moving forward to suppress that fire.

Machine gun provides a base of fire as the other troops move along the right flank.

One solider tosses a grenade into a suspects NVA position.

The LT radios in the contact report to company.
