Lessons Learned, Headquarters, 25th Infantry Division Artillery

Abstract

During the period 9-12 May 1968, two fire support bases of the 25th Infantry Division Artillery came under intense enemy attack. The two attacks followed classic VC tactics and accordingly were almost identical in nature. The defense of both bases by US troops was also successful in each case, but lessons learned from the first defense, applied to the defense of the second fire support base, resulted in far less destruction of friendly equipment and fewer friendly casualties.
