The Fight of Coyotepe Hill
1965
Overview
After repairing disabled trains and tracks, and serving as their own engineers, brakemen and firemen, the Marines brought up field guns and ammunition. A heavy bombardment lasting three hours softened the hill and the advance was made. On 4 October the hill was captured and its guns turned on rebel forces entrenched on nearby La Barranca. Marine losses in the day's operation were four KIA and eight wounded.
