Erich, if only we had half the things they have now, night-vision, IR, encrypted radios, squad radios with a decent range that didn't weigh 50lbs, etc
GPS, wow imagine actually knowing where you were in that triple canopy.
Don't forget field Marshall Sullivan still controlled the depth so GPS would work against you on that one, we could always claim to have wandered over the border "by accident"
Eric, i left in '68 so i never saw night vision, there was a primitive IR camera called a "people-finder" that mounted on a boom on the nose of a Huey. and I think they used it on the gunships looking for truck parks under the canopy. remember the Prick-25s?
Leghorn was established just to relay radio over the mountains
