I was pretty far down on the food chain at that time, Dennis. So all I know is what I was told, and that was that because the Marines had lost a bunch of helicopters during Tet, we were sent up to help provide lift capability to insert Marine recon teams around the Khe Sanh area. I'm a little unclear on their exact unit name, but they were from something like the 1st Reconnaisance Battalion, or 1st Reconnaisance Company. We never actually carried any of them, though. We were just showing up for work when we got hosed. The Marines had been flying those big, slow twin-rotor jobs, and they lost several of them before we got there, or tried to get there.
