Another photo that probably never made it into our PR efforts for obvious reasons.  This was probably                 taken in Ho Nai village, north of Long Binh Post/Camp Frenzell-Jones in 1970.

Dinh Quan in Long Khanh Province, dominated by massive rocks. Whether it was wise to put a ARVN             guard post atop one is a question for a military expert. Note the unlocked gate near the top.

This and the next photo are from fall 1969. The machines were supplied by the 60th Land Clearance Company from Long Binh. The idea was to remove strips of dense jungle and then patrol the cuts to impede movement of the enemy, in this case the 274th VC Regiment. The cuts shown here were made in southwestern Long Khanh in support of the 2/3 operating out of several small firebases, including Gladys, Crystol and Willa. Photographer was SP4 Lloyd R. Ross.
