The patrol protected a downed chopper and then proceeded to join a company that was hunting for enemy mortars and rockets. The patrol was in the field for over a week with very limited contact with the enemy. Due to the patrol starting as an overnight ambush, they were completely unprepared for a week in the field.

Stanton, USMC I Company 3rd Battalion 26th Division - Interviewer: SSgt Edward Evans, USMC - Subject: squad action on hill 689 - Date: 3 September 1967 - Location: Phu Bai, RVN - The interviewee did not head out with his company due to being placed on "no duty" status, and following the company heading out for a search of rocket and mortar sites he joined the unit. His company started receiving fire when they reached the base of Hill 689, they ran out of mortars quickly and became riflemen. Sniper fire brought down several men trying to retrieve one of their wounded. The next day the patrol captured the base which they had been receiving fire from. The men stayed at this location for several days launching patrols from the base.

Subject: recon patrol - Date: 3 September 1967 - Location: Phu Bai, RVN - The interviewee's patrol was sent into the bush to shadow the enemy sited NW of Hue and attempt to determine their intentions. Immediately upon insertion the patrol started taking fire from 10-15 enemy.

This recording contains several interviews regarding aerial support in the Khe Sanh area. First Marine Air Wing Taped Historical Interview Interviewee: LtCol. Richard Taber, USMC VMA 311 MAG 12 Interviewer: Cpl. Kenneth Smith, USMC Date: 22 January 1968 Location: Chu Lai Air Base On December 28, 1968 while on alert VMA 311, the unit set a record for the number of sorties flown during a single alert. The first scramble call was received at 0700, just as the unit was coming onto alert. A majority of calls were in support of the 3rd Marine Division in the Con Tien area, but operated throughout I Corp area. At midday calls were awaiting aircraft availability, as the first standing team could not fly any longer, they had flown the max. number of sorties for the day, pilots from other units volunteered to aid in the effort. During the alert, a shortage of ground crew and pilots required administration personnel to aid in refueling and rearming the aircraft. The pace did not lower until dark when the weather at the airfield and in the operating area deteriorated badly. Even in the hectic pace the success rate was extremely high, as all safety and quality control checks were still enforced.

This pilot described scramble missions in support of Khe Sanh on January 21, 1968 in which air support dropped chemical fused bombs with fuses delayed for 12 to 36 hours on enemy infiltrating the base. During this mission, one plane was lost to ground fire, the pilot was recovered with a sprained ankle. During this one day the unit launched 54 sorties within eighteen hours. The pilot gives the ground personnel high praise for their dedication, allowing rapid turnaround of aircraft. First Marine Air Wing Taped Historical Interview Interviewee: Captain Robert M. DeaMorie, USMC VMA 311 MAG 12 Interviewer: Cpl. Kenneth Smith, USMC Date: 23 January 1968 Location: Chu Lai Air Base. This pilot speaks about priority mission at Khe Sanh.

Williams, USMC VMA AW 533, MAG 12 Interviewer: Cpl. Kenneth Smith, USMC Date: 23 January 1968 Location: Chu Lai Air Base This interview discuss a A-6 mission during Operation Rolling Thunder on an airstrip near Haiphong. The airstrip was regarded as important because it was able to support MIGs. The target is heavily defended. The bombardier/navigator stated that at the 500-foot attack altitude, the enemy radar was unable to locate the aircraft and ground fire as directed at the sound of the aircraft. The mission was successful because of the detailed planning. First Marine Air Wing Taped Historical Interview Interviewee: Major William E. Loftess, USMC VMA 311, MAG 12 Interviewer: Cpl.
