Description

Nui Dat, South Vietnam. May 1971. A Vietnamese student jumps clear of a six feet high barbed wire entanglement at the Jungle Warfare Training Centre (JWTC) at Nui Dat, Phuoc Tuy Province. Back in his own unit he is an officer, but while at JWTC he becomes just another student under the instruction of members of the Australian Army Training Team Vietnam (AATTV). A second student is seen holding a bamboo pole, which is used to enable them to cross the twenty yard stretch of wire. This task is typical of the obstacles the students have to cross in the JWTC Survival Course.
