General Note
COMBAT ASSAULT -- One of the sights that have come to characterize the Vietnamese battlefield - a long string of Huey lift ships inserting troops into a potentially hot landing zone - is especially common in Cav Country. These belong to the 1st Air Cavalry Division's 229th Assault Helicopter Battalion, inserting 1st Brigade Skytroopers near the Cambodian border north of Saigon.
