37th Security Police Squadron, Special Activities Cobra, Sniper Ambush Section: I was assigned to the 37 SP, SA Cobra, Sniper-Ambush Section from June 1968 to June of 1969. The Special Activity section had four parts; M113 (tracks), Mortars, Fire Direction Control, and Sniper-Ambush. My section, Sniper-Ambush, operated around Phu Cat Air Base in a 10 Km ring and sometimes beyond. Usually we were much closer than that; mostly 3000 to 5000 meters from the base perimeter.

Our job was to intercept any insurgent activity, engage with small arms, call in mortars from our unit or arty from the South Koreans. We could also call gun ships which we did from time to time. The Sniper-Ambush section was involved in many, many fire fights with the enemy and did a great job. One captured document cleary stated that Phu Cat was the hardest Air Base to Attack because of the Seurity Police positions around the base. Specifically mentioned were the Sniper-Ambush units, Mortar and K-9 Units.

We never failed in our missions, always won the battles and never let our fellow warriors down. All the men were great Americans, accomplished Warriors and dedicated patriots.
