General Note
During Operation Cedar Falls, the 25th Infantry Division's objective was to help clear the Iron Triangle and seal off the Saigon River. A member of the 5th Mechanized Infantry Regiment searches and inspects a large bunker that was also the entrance to a tunnel complex. He attempted to start a fire at the entrance hoping smoke would travel inside and flush anyone out. Photo by Robert C. Lafoon US Army Sp Photo Det, Pacific
