Ron,
I was crewchief on the first slick Huey from our company (174th) that went into Duc Pho. We were flying C and C for the 2/35th and had gradually moved up from LZ Two Bits. On 15 April the 2/35 and B Troop 1/9th Cav got into a firefight north of Duc Pho. My aircraft got pretty shot up and we ended up grounded at Duc Pho with a 12.7 hit through the tail rotor.
I don't remember exactly when the 3 Bde of the 25th became the 3rd of the 4th, but it seemed to happen overnight. One day all of the 25th stuff was gone and the 4th was in its place.
Every village in the area was really well fortified. It seemed that we had to dig the buggers out with a pitchfork and a crowbar.
