H&I fires were fired generously to deny the enemy routes of escape. Blocking fires ~ere also effectively employed to channelize enemy flovement. •

b. On 13 July 1966, 3d Battalion, 4th Marines began Operation Hastings witrt the 3d Battalion, 12th Marines in general support. Artillery fire­pOl,,~:,~ was provided by three 105 ib3.tteries,two 155 battries and one mor­ter ~)attery. During Ope~ation Hastings many enemy positions were silen­ced with the foe either destroyed or forced to withdraw by observed art­illeL~ missions. Targets included automatic weapon pOSitions, mortar positions, sniper positionsy assembly areas1 and supply areas. On three occasions heavy artillery fire helped to break the baok of human wave assaults on 3d Battalion, 4th 11arines positions. Blocking fires were effectively used to screen friendlY movement until new defensive posit­ions were establishedo HeaVy E&I fires helped secure enemy routes of withdrawl froD the operation area; illumination missions helped light up the battle area at night, and prevented surprise enemy activity duri~g the hours of darkness.

.... ~~©~~~$~W~~@ . Another problem enco~red was the fact that too oft~elicoPters

woxking in support of adjacent units interfered with artiller,y ~d close

air support missions in the operation area of this battalion. °ince these

ai:rcraft, when working i-lith adjacent units, are not always able to monitor

the same frequencies as the unit receiving the artiller,y or close air supp­

ort, this unit cannot always inform them of this support. All units should

be aWare of aTfY artillery or air support being provided adjacent units. This

information should be passed to any airoraft entering the area by the DASC,

regimental FSCC 1 or the unit for which these aircraft are performing a mis­

sion. If such interference continues legitimate ene~ targets may be lost

or friendly aircraft inadvertantly destroyed as a result. If the aircraft

interfering with such support are on a higher priority or more urgent mis­

sion tba~ that support, then the unit receiving this support Should be so

inform.-';: pnd the support missions ceased or postponed by either the DASO or

regimeLt~l FSCC until such time as they can be safely continued.

Another incident indicating non-adherence to established procedures

involved an aircraft firing a rocket into friendly positions (no casualties).

r The pilot of this aircraft did not have communications -with the TAO (A) or

. the ground units FAC and had only sporadic communications with his flight

( .' leader. The 4th Marines Operation Order 301-66 clearly states that no .close

air support strikes ,,(in be flo,1n without positive control of a TAC (A) or an

FAG. It must continually be emphasised to pilots flying close air support

missions that ·they are not -to participate in such strikes when they do not

have communioation with the porson oou·!:.:;:olJJ.ng the strike, whether TAC (A),

FAG or both. This procedu.:r:H has oGen (:tS'tD,b~;j.shed to preclude ordnm de
