Hi 11ACR Vets,
I'm an Australian Vietnam Veteran - two tours. I've written three books on the enemy (non-commercial - and all free to read on the Internet : D445, D440 - and this month: 33rd Regiment North Vietnamese Army. 11ACR engaged all three at different times..
I have searched on-line for some detail on 11ACR's 3d Squadron's activities in August 1966 (ie in reference to the Australian's major battle on 18 August at Long Tan (Phuoc Tuy) - 245 NVA/VC KIA (BC). I'm aware that the 3d Squadron arrived at Long Binh on 12 August 1966 - but would like to know more about their activities that month - ie when did their armored vehicles arrive, when was the 3d Squadron "combat ready" ? Any information on the 3d Squadron's activities in August 1966 - ie before the arrival of the 11ACR main body at Vung Tau on 7 September 1966, would be appreciated.
Best wishes, Ernie Chamberlain
