5/27 artillery

From Tomas J. Benavides (TJ), on Tue, 05 Mar 2002 21:24:01 GMT (in response to: Phan Rang Air Base)

I was at Phan Rang from Aug 1 1968 to Sept. 13 1969. I was with the 5th Battalion 27th artillery of the First Field Force Vietnam (Army). I was a communication specialist (31B20).Our batteries provided cover for the second war zone. We also each had a position to man on the perimeter during a red alert. I will never forget following the Captain around with a radio (PRC 25) on my back while he checked each position on the perimeter. Phan Rang was attacked 17 nights in a row during the Tet offensive of 69. Tomas Benavides
