Summary of Personnel Activities |
These two summaries for March and April, 1967 provide an accounting for all personnel activities for the Battalion to be forwarded to the Division. Men killed and wounded in action, men transferring in and out, R&R activities, awards, future personnel needs to maintain battalion strength -- everything must be tabulated and reported. You'll notice that morale in the Battalion is always high . . .
