I have little experience with Officer details, especially general officer's so if you spot an error on my part please LMK.
If you can clarify any of the Assignment dates, provide specific MOS's to his Assignments, provide ribbons or badges, or other details please feel free to send me a note with the specifics. I'll add those if they make sense.

February / 1969
To Month/Year
February / 1969
Description From February 10 to 16, BLT 3/26 landed just south of Hoi An in Operation Defiant Measure. No contact was made with the enemy. It seemed that the VC and NVA were now reverting almost wholly to guerrilla and terrorist activities from large unit operations.
