General Note

A radio operator (RTO) rests against a tree at the end of a sweep outside the Long Binh Combat Base. He is a member of 2nd Platoon, B Company, 2nd Batallion, 18th Infantry, 1st Infantry Division. This photograph is one of the few times I put down my 'military camera' and recorded a moment with my own personal camera. It is part of a small number of images I shot during my Army career that I still like.
