how far were you from 270?
I was on hill 270 for my entire tour of duty. If you're familiar at all with it, you'll remember the 30' tower at the highest point on 270. The top level of that tower was where I.O.S. (Integrated Observation System) was located, which is the instrument that I used as an FO (operational 24/7 ). We, the 2-5 man I.O.S. team, came from HHB DivArty 23rd Inf., in Chu Lai. The Artillery Battery and the Infantry Battalion Tactical Operations Command Center (BTOCC) on 270, were based in Da Nang.This, all added together, consisted of anywhere from 70 to 90 men.
