            b.          Battalion Command Post Activities.

                        (1)    The Ballalion Executive and Special Staff Sections underwent
a Commanding General Inspection during the period of 5-11 September.

                        (2)    The Battalion Commander established a Combat Operations
Center which works out of the Command Bunker  (S-2/3 bunker)  from 2200-0600
daily.

                        (3)   The Battalion Radio Communications Center and the switchboards
were moved into the Command Bunker.

           c.          Intelligence.   Information concerning the enemy and terrain was
received from USMACV, III MAF, 3d Marine Division, HOA VANG district head-
quarters, HOA CAM Regional Forces Training Center and 3d Tank Bn INTSUMS.
On 23 Sep NGUYEN LUOM, age 17, was apprehended in the village of YEN BAC
(AT985708).    He was pointed out as being a member of a three man team which
assassinated the Police Chief of HOA THO village on 27 Aug.    Suspect was
taken to HOA VANG district headquarters.

           d.          Training.   Battalion level training was accomplished using the
contact team method, with the one exception being the Motor Transport
Section.   The Motor Transport Officer conducted weekly training for drivers
at the Battalion CP.    The classes were repeated each Saturday morning,
allowing 25% of the drivers in the DANANG TAOR to attend each week.   The
Communications section sent a contact team to PHU BAI where they held
school on the newly issued AN/PRC-25 for Company "B".   Formal Schooling
was held at the Company level on such subjects as Map Reading, Troop in-
doctrination, Code of Conduct and NBC.    The various familiarization firing
activities conducted in September included the 106MM recoilless rifle, Cal
30 machinegun, M-60 machinegun, M-14 rifle, Cal 45 pistol and the Cal 50
spotter rifle.    A program for familiarization firing of the M-14 is set up
to fire all newly joined personnel by H&S Company, barring other commit-
tments, within the first week of joining.    The Gun Companies, where the
greater percent are armed with 45 pistols, used "field firing" for
familiarization due to operational committments.

            e,          Operations:   The 3d Antitank Battalion continued to provide general
support to the 3d Marine Division in DANANG and PHU BAI TAORS.   On 1 Sep-
