Firebasexx.jpgBreak from S&D136 viewsSearch & Destroy missions were shared among the Infantry companies with one company taking a break for rest at a 105mm howitzer battery. They were known as the "Palace Guard" since they provided defenses for both their Battalion Command Post and one of the 105mm batteries.
Lt Keith was supported by "A" Battery, 2/9th FA.
