Psychological Operations
There were two ‘Broadcast Teams’ from G-5 of the 3rd Marine Division assigned to the Battalion for a short period of time during the month. One was located at LZ Catapult with Company C and the other at FSB Russell with Company A. Their mission was to conduct broadcasts into and just south of the DMZ in support of the ‘Chieu Hoi’ program. The teams were to direct their efforts toward the 88th Regiment of the 308th NVA Division which was reported to be operating in this area.
Between the period 6-18 May, 192,000 propaganda leaflets were dropped into grid square XD 7662. Due to prevailing northwesterly winds, many of these leaflets landed in the Battalion’s AO.
