Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A 2 1/2 ton truck driven by U. S. Special Forces personnel and loaded with combat supplies, food, ammunitions, POL and etc. which is being rushed to a recently attacked outpost in the Hiep Hoa District via CV-2B Caribou assigned to the 61st Aviation Company, U. S. Army, currently stationed in the Rep. of Vietnam. The Caribou is a highly versatile cargo type aircraft capable of short take offs and landings from unimproved areas, it has an exceptionally high rate of climb and manueverability which makes it ideal for getting in and out of hot spots where enemy ground fire is encountered. In Vietnam it is used extensively in logistic and combat re-supply of strategic hamlets and military outposts located deep in Viet Cong infested areas. NARA 111-CCV-78-CC27631
