Redcatchers of the 199th LIB encountered light action during operations south and west of Saigon during the week. A night patrol form the 6/31st Inf engaged two VC in a sampan south of Saigon. A brief firefight ended when a grenade sank the sampan. A search of the river failed to reveal any bodies. On several days the 199th called in airstrikes to destroy enemy bunkers they had discovered.
