Some of the experiences he had with his brigade were related in books such as Through The Valley: Vietnam 1967-1968 and another one that encompasses these next photos: The Magnificent Bastards.

This is a photo of the place these mostly Army draftees holed up for a few days leading up to - and including - the Tet Offensive in I Corp.

"You know you're in trouble when you're in the Army and Marine helicopters are picking you up as reinforcements."

I won't go further into the details of the offensive in that area, but I can sum it up as Divisions of NVA heavily outnumbering Marines and the small amount of Army backup they got.

Anyway... here's their nice home for a couple days:
