A RAAF Iroquois helicopter from No 9 Squadron (Sqn) re-supplies troops of the First Australian Task Force in the field during a recent search and destroy operation in Phuoc Tuy Province. The operation, by troops of the 2nd and 7th battalions of the Royal Australian Regiment (2RAR and 7RAR), was aimed at destroying a Viet Cong (VC) logistics area on the coast about 20 miles from the Task Force HQ at Nui Dat. The RAAF helicopters flew long hours in support of the operation, re-supplying forward areas and also providing around-the-clock “dust-off” service for any wounded. The Sqn is based at Vung Tau, 35 miles south-east of Saigon and is commanded by Squadron Leader Peter Reed.
