LESSONS LEARNED, HEADQUARTERS, 3D BRIGADE TASK FORCE, 25TH INFANTRY DIVISION

Abstract

During the reporting period, the 3d Brigade Task Force, 25th Infantry Division participated in Operations PAUL REVERE II, III, and IV, for a total of 92 days of consecutive combat duty. The mission assigned the 3d Brigade Task Force for each operation was to maintain surveillance of the RVN Cambodian border and areas east thereof, conduct ambushes, and block penetrations into the assigned area of operation. The area designated for Operation PAUL REVERE II was identical to that of Operation PAUL REVERE I. Specific boundaries of the area of operation were the RVN/Cambodian border in the west, Route 14 in the east. The area of operation encompassed approximately 2040 square miles. The brigade task force was engaged when Operation PAUL REVERE II commenced. The technique of 'checkerboarding' (moving from one numbered 10,000 meter grid square to another), which proved effective during previous operations, was continued.
