had valuable information about
the "enemy." The agent gave
the recon patrols the location of
an ammunition dump which
was to be attacked and de
stroyed after dark.
The six 35-man patrols moved
out under the cover of darkness
and despite many obstacles suc
cessfully destroyed the dump.
They met heavy resistance from
the opposition in the form of
sniper patrols and amassed re
sistance force at the ammo
site. A successful retreat to the
assembly area terminated the
problem for the Regulars.
