(Armor) Compilation of Vietnam Articles F Troop 17th Cavalry (Armor) Compilation of Vietnam Articles Forwarding note from Leslie Hines, ADVA Vietnam era historian for 2020. The Americal Division Veteran’s Association Historical Data Base contains many news articles, reports, unit albums, casualty reports, KIA information, videos and maps relating to units that served with the Americal Division. My work on this effort began way back in the 1990s. Many items came from veterans sharing their news articles with me or from tedious efforts to locate and transcribe the text and images from microfilm copies. Today the data base now holds only approximately 40% of the stories of our service in the Americal Division and supporting units. But it is the result of my best effort. I have realized that it might be difficult for a veteran to find stories about their unit from the data base if they did not have some computer skills. This compilation may come too late for some, but it is always something that I hoped that would be done by a unit’s web master or some other helpful soul as I continued to add more material to the data base. But it is time that I start making the effort. If for no other reason than to illustrate what can be done if someone makes the effort to compile their own unit stories from the data base. This compilation had to be limited in scope. Items were selected from “Pacific Stars & Stripes” and the “Army Reporter” which published many of the articles provided by the Americal Division Information Office. It also includes brigade command newsletters (196th LIB), the division daily newsheets, the Americal Division magazines (12 issues), the Americal Division Book (printed in July 1970), and 117 issues of the “Southern Cross” published in Vietnam were included. Notable sources of stories that were not included in the compilation were the ADVA Newsletter/Journal stories. Some of the ADVA “Newsletters” have been scanned as read only images. The issues of the ADVA “Journal” can be searched electronically and currently is complete. It would be possible to select several more articles if I had time to research stories that did not provide the company name. For example a story might only refer to the action of a unit of the Americal Division or the 196th Bde engaging the enemy. If the story indicated their were 23 enemy killed and a cache of 12 B-40 rockets I might be able to identify that the unit was F Trp 17th Cavalry. from the Division S2/S3 TOC reports. Without this extra research we only know that the action involved a unit that might or might not have been F Troop 17th Cavalry. Note: References to photos may indicate that we have an image taken from microfilm or xerox copy. These may be found in PDF files in the historical data base or you may request copies of the images the ADVA historian. Four military yearbooks exist that include F/17th Cavalry. These books are similar to high school year books. These were created under the direction of the officer assigned duties as historian for the battalion. A 1966 196th Light Infantry Brigade (Ft. Devens) yearbook was published with a captioned group photo of the men from F Troop 17th Cavalry. A 1967 196 Light Infantry Brigade yearbook was published with a listing of the men who were serving with F Troop 17th Cavalry. This is an edited version of the list found in the year book: A 1971 1/1st Cavalry Yearbook was published with a small section of photos for men serving in F Troop 17 Cavalry. And a 1972 1/1st Cavalry & F Troop 17th Cavalry yearbook was published with a section with a section of individual photos for men serving in F Troop 17th Cavalry. The photos are too numerous to provide here. You will want to see the PDF files made of these two yearbooks to peruse through the photos. A 155 page document has been made of the Americal Division S2/S3 report entries that referred to actions of F Troop 17th Cavalry. This document covers a period from October 22, 1967 through November 11, 1971. The entries will not be duplicated in this document. Another source that has not been worked is the news releases sent to home town newspapers with stories about our veterans. This is the information about Troop F, 17th Cavalry service found in the “Stanton Order of Battle” reference book. Unit awards for F Troop 17th Cavalry (Armor).

Specialist Four Smith distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous actions on 26 December 1969 while serving as a medical aidman with Troop F, 17th Cavalry. On that date, the troop was engaged in combat operations when it came under heavy fire from an enemy force of undetermined size. In the initial exchange of fire, a vehicle was hit by a rocket propelled grenade round which caused several casualties. With complete disregard for his personal safety, Specialist Smith ran through the enemy fire, and went to the assistance of his wounded comrades. With the aid of a fellow soldier, Specialist Smith moved the wounded driver of the vehicle from his position, and administered aid to his comrade. Continuing to expose himself to hostile fire, Specialist Smith treated three other wounded soldiers. He remained in a vulnerable position to care for the wounded men until a MEDEVAC aircraft arrived, and they were extracted from the site. Through his timely and courageous actions, Specialist Smith was instrumental in the swift evacuation of his wounded comrades. Specialist Smith’s personal heroism, professional competence, and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, the Americal Division, and the United States Army.

Specialist Five Fune distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous actions on 4 March 1971 while serving as a Medical Aidman with F Troop, 17th Cavalry. On that date, while in a Night Defensive Position near Tien Phuoc, the platoon came under attack from and enemy force employing Rocket-Propelled Grenades, mortars, small arms fire, and 57MM recoiless rifle fire. One of the vehicles in the per- imeter received a direct hit by a Rocket-Propelled Grenade, set- ting the vehicle afire and wounding several of the crew members. Although Specialist Five Fune had been painfully injured in a prior engagement, without regard for his own personal safety and despite the hostile fire and imminent danger of secondary explo- sions from the flaming vehicle, he repeatedly entered the burn- ing vehicle until all crew members were successfully evacuated. He then administered aid far above what is normally required of a Medical Aidman. His actions undoubtedly saved the lives of his wounded comrades. Specialist Five Fune’s personal heroism, pro- fessional competence, and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, the 23rd Infantry Division, and the United States Army.

  • STRIKE HISTORY (Citation’S and Awards)
    STRIKE Vietnam War Weekly History August 13th – August 19th, 2017 Issue: 61 st nd nd st Brief History of the 501 , 502 and 2 Brigade (101 ABN DIV) The 502nd, or “five-oh-deuce”, was activated July 1, 1941 at Fort Benning, Georgia as the 502nd parachute infantry battalion, as an experimental unit formed to test the doctrine and tactics of parachute assaults. The 502nd entered combat in World War II on June 6, 1944, by jumping into Normandy, with allied forces landing on D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. Between 1945 and 1964. A major reorganization took place on 3 February 1964, when the 2nd Brigade of the 101st Airborne was activated at Fort Campbell, replacing the 1st Airborne Battle Group, 501st Infantry Regiment. The reorganization from the battle groups to brigades and battalions placed two battalions of the 502nd in different brigades of the 101st. The 2nd Battalion, 502nd Infantry was in the 1st Brigade with 1-327th and 2-327th Infantry. Which deployed to Vietnam and arrived at Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam on 29 July 1965, they were commanded by the most notable commander LTC Hank “The Gunfighter” Emerson. The new 2nd Brigade’s original organic battalions were the 1st and 2d Battalions, 501st Infantry, and the 1st Battalion, 502nd Infantry. December 1967 the 501st, 502nd and 2nd Brigade deployed by C-141 aircraft and arrived at Bien Hoa Airbase on 13 December 1967. Over the next five years, Soldiers of the “Ready to Go” Brigade participated in twelve campaigns, compiling of a distinguished combat record as well as an enviable reputation for success in the rehabilitation of a war-torn nation.

Bilko, M*A*S*H and the Heyday of U.S. Military Sitcoms (1955-75) Dennis Tredy 1 If the title of this paper quotes part of the refrain from Edwin Starr’s 1970 protest song, “War,” the song’s next line, proclaiming that war is good for “absolutely nothing” seems inaccurate, at least in terms of successful television sitcoms of from the 1950s to the 1970s. In fact, while Starr’s song was still an anti-Vietnam War battle cry, ground- breaking television programs like M*A*S*H (CBS, 1972-1983) were using laughter and tongue-in-cheek treatment of the horrors of war to provide a somewhat more palatable expression of the growing anti-war sentiment to American audiences.

In 1995 and 1996, MTDC produced another training video “Making a Crew” (MTDC Staff 1995 and 1996). This video focused on the workers, not the supervisors. While interviewing Forest Service employees during the production of this program, the project leader noted that numerous changes had occurred in the Forest Service’s work culture. This insight led to the white paper, “A Changing Forest Service Work Culture: Training New Leaders” (MTDC Staff 1997). The white paper had two purposes: to present some of the changes taking place in the Forest Service’s work culture and to discuss some sociological reflections on the training of Forest Service crew leaders. The paper concluded by recommending that the training program for supervisors of field crews be updated. A project to update the supervisor training program began in January 2000. The project team found that traditional seasonal crews had become almost extinct in the Forest Service.

  • American Heritage Center
    UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING AMERICAN HERITAGE CENTER GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY RESOURCES Child actress Mary Jane Irving with Bessie Barriscale and Ben Alexander in the 1918 silent film Heart of Rachel. Mary Jane Irving papers, American Heritage Center. Compiled by D. Claudia Thompson and Shaun A. Hayes 2009 PREFACE When the University of Wyoming began collecting the papers of national entertainment figures in the 1970s, it was one of only a handful of repositories actively engaged in the field. Business and industry, science, family history, even print literature were all recognized as legitimate fields of study while prejudice remained against mere entertainment as a source of scholarship. There are two arguments to be made against this narrow vision. In the first place, entertainment is very much an industry. It employs thousands. It requires vast capital expenditure, and it lives or dies on profit. In the second place, popular culture is more universal than any other field. Each individual’s experience is unique, but one common thread running throughout humanity is the desire to be taken out of ourselves, to share with our neighbors some story of humor or adventure. This is the basis for entertainment. The Entertainment Industry collections at the American Heritage Center focus on the twentieth century. During the twentieth century, entertainment in the United States changed radically due to advances in communications technology. The development of radio made it possible for the first time for people on both coasts to listen to a performance simultaneously. The delivery of entertainment thus became immensely cheaper and, at the same time, the fame of individual performers grew.

"The old Vitagraph lot, then ABC, now Disney in East Hollywood, once had a large backlot, but by the time of television, the backlot was gone. For an early live western tv show, the side of one of the sound stages was painted to look like a western town or desert scene or something, and the show was show live from in front of that painted building." - Jerry S. "I've been told that all the scenes [in 42nd STREET] inside the theater were shot at Prospect on [what was known as] the Vitaphone theater stage. That stage later became Studio E at ABC, (now Stage 5). Eventually, the auditorium end of the stage was demolished to make way for a new studio now called Stage 4. The Vitaphone stage was sort of like the Phantom stage at Universal in that a portion of it had a permanent auditorium set with seats and boxes. It was removed once ABC took over. The old TV series SPACE PATROL was shot on those combined stages." - Richard P.
