Lessons Learned, Headquarters, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment

Abstract

The role of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment during the past quarter has been mainly one of re-positioning of forces to interdict the NVA LINES OF COMMUNICATION (LOC) originating in Cambodia and combating local force units. During the month of November, elements of the Blackhorse Regiment embarked on Operation Long Reach I (7-9 Nov) and Operation Texas Traveler (24-28 Nov). Long Reach I was initially designed to relieve the pressure from the Bu Dop/Bo Duc area by providing an axis by which the critical area could be reinforced and by interdicting the enemy supply lines. While Long Reach I took the 2nd Squadron to the northeast, Texas Traveler brought the 3rd Squadron into eastern War Zone C. Texas Traveler, which essentially was a long range reconnaissance operation, was designed to screen enemy units attempting to infiltrate from Cambodia as well as to block enemy routes of withdrawal, and to relieve FSB's Jackie, Jamie, or Vickie in the event of enemy attack.
