Book Description
The group's mission during the first half of the reporting period was general support of the 3d Marine Division, reinforcing the fires of the 12th Marines. Upon the formation of Provisional Corps Vietnam, the group's mission became general support of the corps, reinforcing the fires of the 12th Marines, 1st Cavalry Division Artillery and 101st Air Cavalry Division Artillery. The group's principal function within its general support mission was the operation of the corps artillery counterbattery program along the DMZ. In support of this program, the bulk of the group's heavy artillery and target acquisition assets were concentrated along the southern edge of the DMZ.

Book Description
The Vietnam war, for the artilleryman, is primarily a battery war. For various reasons, battalions have more than the normal difficulties in controlling the fires of their batteries. This is caused by factors such as unusually large areas of operations, extreme variations in terrain, wide fluctuations in missions and tasks, and large geographic separation among battalion elements. The terrain factors and geographic separation of battalion elements are the most significant challenges to the artillery mission in Northern I Corps Tactical Zone. The wide variations in terrain, from lowlands through the rolling piedmont areas to the mountainous jungle areas, have caused different employment concepts to be developed. The wide separation of units vastly increases the command and control problem, and the use of the helicopter for command and control purposes is an absolute necessity. A great deal of effort and pressure were required to obtain assigneed helicopter assets; the results have paid off handsomely.

Book Description
The 25th Infantry Division participates at all levels in the prosecution of the counterinsurgency in Vietnam. The main effort, due to circumstances, has been toward the defeat of the enemy main force units as they attempted to launch offensive operations against Saigon and Tay Ninh City. As a result greater emphasis can be given to elimination of the local forces and the VC Infrastructure. In August and September of 1968, the Division broke the enemy's Third Offensive, aimed at Tay Ninh City. From February through April of 1969, the Division fought a series of intense battles along the Saigon River and along the Cambodian Border as the enemy attempted to move on the capitol city of Saigon. Over four thousand enemy were killed during this period, and the main force units were dealt a blow from which they have not yet recovered. In June of 1969, the enemy again chose Tay Ninh City as his objective, but the combined 25th Infantry Division and ARVN forces in that area frustrated their every move. Concurrent with these major engagements, the Division pursued aggressive psychological operations and civic action programs, and severely damaged the strong VC Infrastructure in Hau Nghia Province through the use of special counter VCI teams.
