| Vehicles G37 & G39 at a
Night Defensive Perimeter (NDP). Note G37 has lost most or all of its swim gear
whereas that of G39 is largely intact. G37 has just refueled and taken on
another case of C-rations, seen on the front deck. G39 is being prepared for
movement from this particular NDP and the extreme load-out is obvious in this
picture. Shown are the stowed RPG net, the additional stowage rack for
jerry-cans welded to the rear deck and just visible is the modified exhaust
stack, extended with an artillery munitions tube to raise the exhaust plume away
from the crew in heavy bush. The white Styrofoam box was used to deliver
ice-cream & saved as a cooler or, with the bottom cut out, could serve as an
improvised latrine. Still in Hau Nghia province, Vietnam-1972. (D. Kibbey photos) |
