Most of my tour was spent out of some fire base somewhere, couple hundred (at most) guys out in the middle of knowhere, We would patrol just about every morning depending on what mortors were on the fire base, is how far we would venture out, 81s you could have a nice days walk, 4.2 it was real work.
When I did get to a base camp, that was a different world, I liked the fire base much better. Except when VC wanted your hill. Pleiku comes to mind as a huge base camp. Im not real sure what Dak To was, Kinda in the middle, smaller than a base camp but bigger than a fire base. fire base usually had a gils name that the BN comander knew. (marry Lou) was his wife.

Just thinking out loud.
