Airmobile strategy
Hi all,
Given the way that the introduction of shoulder fired sam's changed the course of the Soviet-Afghanistan war, do you think the whole airmobile strategy is fading away? Thanks and all the best, Nathan |

Re: Airmobile strategy
Quite a few - mainly personal accounts from Vietnam.
The Vietnam related titles I can see from this vantage point are: 'Blood On The Risers' - John Leppelman 'Bloods' - Wallace Terry 'Free Fire Zone' - Kevin Dokery 'Hunters and Shooters' - Bill Fawcett 'Assault on Dak Pek' - Leigh Wade 'Covert Ops' - James F Parker '365 days' - George Braziller 'Recondo' - Larry Chambers 'The Killing Zone' - Frederick Downs 'SeaWolves' - Daniel E. Kelly 'A Better War' - Lewis Sorley *This book in particular contains a wealth of information.

Chalie Company, 2nd Battalion, 503rd infantry, 173rd Airborne Brigade (Separate). Believe what he says! I was present during some of the things he wrote about. If you haven't read it in awhile - do a re-read. |
