A Week in Binh Long - The forever AAR

Turn 8 - 1st/16th Infantry & 3d Brigade Headquarters
.
A/1st/16th Infantry has spread out around LZ ALASKA 1 and will be securing this part of Area ALASKA over the next dozen turns or so. No contact yet.

.
At the bottom of Area ALASKA, B/1st/16th Infantry is doing the same, spreading out and trying to secure the villages northwest of the abandoned airfield. One platoon is heading east to clear the main plantation road.

.
The remaining of 1st/16th Infantry has nearly arrived at the intersection of Route 301 and QL13. It should be clear sailing after this. If you have a good eye, you will notice the Duster (blue icon on QL13) and the escorting Jeeps have swung south and will head back to Lai Khe to the 3d Brigade Headquarters. The rest of the headquarters is still hanging around Lai Khe, shoveling sandbags. Note the Engineer trucks at the very top left of the image. This truck is carrying dozers, which will join this convoy as it heads up to An Loc.
