In Aug '67, Project Rapid Fire (B-36 Provisional) was created. Project Rapid Fire used the same Mobile Guerrilla Task Force of BJ 31 plus the one used for BJ 32 (TF 966), which had come from A-304. They also got 20 LRRPs from various Infantry units, e.g. 1st, 9th, 25th Inf, 11th ACR, & Lt. Inf. Bdes. A-303 was redesignated A-361, and A-304 was redesignated as A-362. A-302 continued to run operations as a Mike Force separate from the Mobile Guerrilla Forces and separate from Project Rapid Fire (B-36 Provisional). In May '68, all the Mike Forces and Mobile Guerrilla Fo

I own a print! This soldier and I served in Long Hai, RVN together.

The Paramarines were disbanded during WWII! The Recon Marines (Force Recon) and other continued to become Parachute trained at Fort Benning to this day.

Bob was placed into a holding company and attended fast speed Morse interceptor and Hanoi Dialect Vietnamese training. After not being deployed for a almost a year, my brother signed a waiver allowing him to be deployed. Bob
