\My brothers have my back\ : inside the November 1969 battle on the Vietnamese DMZ
On November 10, 1969, during Operation Fulton Square, heavy fighting erupted in Quàang Tri Province about 2 miles south of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), at a location called Leatherneck Square. US Army Task Force 1-61 fought three reinforced battalions of the 27th NVA Regiment in the vicinity of Hill 162. According to Time Magazine, captured documents indicated that the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) believed a successful surprise attack timed to correspond with the large US peace marches scheduled for November 14-16 (the Vietnam Moratorium) would provide a bargaining chip for peace negotiations. The author, who served with the US 61st Infantry, 1st Battalion, Alpha Company, has assembled this account from the recollections of nearly fifty participants who were present at this relatively unknown battle.
