Description: The command element for EAGLE PULL from the 31st MAU flew into Pochentong airfield and the next day the fixed-wing evacuation of personnel began using USAF C-130s. The fixed wing missions continued until Apr 10 and 750 were evacuated prior to the helicopter extractions. Hampered daily by 80 to 90 incoming 107mm rockets and artillery fire, on the 10th the airfield was so heavily interdicted by fire that the fixed-wing evacuation was halted.
