Black is half-turned to the camera, Sp4 James McBrayer, Jr is using the pick to make foxholes, Huckaby is by the "Pink Kitty". The "Pink Kitty" is the FDC training trailer that we brought over from Hawaii. We decided later that a plywood FDC trailer above ground was not a smart move. The picture is looking north, northwest.

JCook22d.JPGUnderground Bunker - the orginal CONEX FDC concept151 viewsThe next change for our FDC operations was CONEX containers. We buried two (2) CONEX containers in Base Camp. They were dug in with the help of a bulldozer. They were facing each other, dropped into the hole and covered with sandbags. We made a "sandbag staircase" to get back to the surface. I don't know how this would work out in monsoon season. Inside the containers, we used red lights at night and white lights during the day. We moved in our standard field tables for the charts and placed the radios on ammo boxes.
