F50lrrp Posted June 20, 2012 Author Share #5 Posted June 20, 2012 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 Forces of each Corps were consolidated and redesignated as Mobile Strike Force Commands. The insignia on the cap is a Skull and the Addition of RVN Jump Wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
