Gator 11 received fire upon the initial extraction of two wounded persons but received no hits. The enemy fire was quickly suppressed by rocket and mini-gun fire from the C-model Croc gunships. The Croc later covered another medevac in the same area by Dustoff aircraft. By circumnavigation rain squalls, resupply was also conducted by the Gators through the day.
