b. Rudders lrere instrumental in locA.ting tunnels p.n<i 'tPT"c"'red in sev:­eral inst"lnces to indicate direction of ,the tunnels.

The nrin:inru.m tine ;lvaihble with the l-rire rudders prior to the concl~lston of the operation PrQcluded use of the rudders to loc.<>te multi-leveled tun­nel systems Bnd tunnel slope. In ;mticipA,ti0n of extensive future utilizA.­tion and testing, addition-"l.l wire rudders'hp.ve been renuisiti0ned foT' use by all m~neuver elements of the RAttAlion9

14. CommAnders Analysis, The kill ratio ,qnd the lA.rge number of 'f'T'Y's tRken in this Operati<n is indic.<1.tive of the results which CRn be oht'1ined if an" area is completely sealed off. The rapid insertion of the 2nd Bn(~)(~ein), 5th lh,rines into An ;'tre!1. South of the LZ for the 2nd Bn(-) (Rein) J 4th Mp..rincs, forced the enemy to move in a Northerl;T directiC'ln since he W'lS blocked on the llJ'est by CJIG personnel from THUO~lG DUC S;? Ijrunp I'Ind on the -r.:a.st b~T the SONG THU BON itself and 1/5 blocking forces on its e~stern h"tnk. In so de­ing" the enemy repeAtedly made cont.qct with H::>.rj.ne forces to the ~Torth suf­fering hcR.VY casu:11ties. His -"l.ttempts to move bp.ck to the South \':rere blunt­ed by 2/5'8 sweep to the North I'nd NOl--thel'l,st I-1.nd ag~jn he suffered henv.1 casualties, Helicopter support and fire surmort cIJordj_naticn were exce·l ..... lent throughout the conduct of the OperqtiNl.. The SCClut-dOg ;:1.p:r-l.in nrolTed an invalu.::tble asset in flushin,f.\ VC from well concealed positirllls .'lnd in locating tunnel complexes.

Of special interest is the fact thA,t enemy fortific::>.tirms ,-rest of the SONG THU BON .were positioned to meet An -'l.ttl'lck from the Norther-l.st. By landing S1f of tOE:se positiC'ns, 2/5 completely negl'!ted their effectiveness .. In most inst~ces the fortific~tinns were well constructed p.nd showed th~t detailed pl?nning had gone into their positioning.

o Pr~ field testing of Nire Rudders indic~.ted th~t they ~.elsist in locating under ground fissures; further testing en future operl'lti(ms, hoTt."­ever, will be needed to determine their comnlete ~.nplic~bi1ity to the 10-cA,tion of caves ann tunnels.

The ease with which Co's .1\ <ma B 1/1 assJm.ilated themselves into the 2/5 combat structure is indicative af their high st~,te of tr:>.in:i.ng ~d proved the feasibility of the interchAnge nf units without the loss of combat effectiveness. Doth comp"l.llies are to be COMmended. for ~. ,iob "well done".

All indications pointed to long term occup~ncy of the area of operations by enemy forces. Although civilians in the ::trea l~ere not openly hostHe and appreciated medicrll. treatment given at B \S 1'tnd Cl'·C there is little doubt that the VC infrastructure therein C0ntrols most of the lnha'b:1t;.mts activ­ities. A successful R&D progra:m e~ only be prosecuted when the VC hold is broken. In line with the above) I plan to conduct future operations in the area.
