Question for you guys. As a percentage, how often were you in contact while outside a firebase...every other day ? When we were in cambodia, for the first 30 or so days something was happening every day. It slacked off some after that. For the other 10 months we seemed to have significant contact every 4 -6 days maybe.

P.S. : Since it is difficult to move quietly in a large group..how many times was your lead element ambushed ? Any ideas why it didn't happen more times ? I believe the only thing that saved us ( mechanized unit ) from being ambushed more than we were, was the amount of fire-power we had and the response we would have given the enemy in return.
All of our operations were only company size except for the April 1970 reaction force for the rangers that got ambushed and most of the time we were in Cambodia when were with A,C, and D( recon ) company of the 2/22, and possibly other units as well.
