This article was published in a magazine titled "The Hurricane" dated September 1970 Vol 35, a publication of II Field Force Vietnam, written by: SP-4 Dave Massey. This is one of the best descriptions of us that I have found yet.

My first duty post in-country was the sole engineer assigned to 2nd Civil Affairs Co. My duty was primarily handling demolitions and some minor construction in my "free time". We were based in An Loc, near Loc Ninh which was in the Parrots Beak, another jumping off point for the Cambodian incursion. I arrived in July of 1970, and as I recall, we had pulled out of Cambodia shortly before.
To make a long story short, while I never actually saw these guys working, they were nearby, and we heard a lot about them. You cannot imagine what adversity they endured, not only from the enemy, but most especially from the elements. They were truly a dedicated and brave lot. My hat's off to them.

I just want to thank you for starting this thread. It's been a nice break from the negativity of the politics of the day.

You can tell the guy that wrote the article was not an equipment operator. D7s do not burn gas. Some of the units had D9s didn't they. He didn't have any information on the history of the Land Clearers.
