CR6,
Thanks for the kind words. I've been busy but have more time now to engage in conversations about this subject. Besides, you Army guys need the Navy to keep y'all honest with these types of operations.

Tom,
That is a great little monograph. Fulton would know since it was his brigade. My opinion of his work grew a lot more once I started understanding riverine ops a little better. I've conversed with Gen Bolduc (I can't remember how many starts he had at the time of his retirement) via email about his experiences with riverine ops. I can forward that to you if need be. They did some great things in the Delta. The most impressive thing might be how well they did despite the poor command setup (no single commander for the force). I think that speaks well to the professionalism of both sides (Navy and Army) during their operations in Vietnam.
