Plan A/Plan B
Article Abstract:
An ex-Marine officer recalls his memories of his second tour in Vietnam in August 1968 where he was assigned as the commanding officer of Company A of 3d Amphibian Tractor Battalion (3d Amtracs). His plans for combat were foiled by the floodwaters of Typhoon Bess, which halted air and ground operations at its wake, leading to the abandonment of many Amtracs.
