… a Yeti

""It must not be killed or shot at except in an emergency arising out of self-defense." That was one of the U.S. State Department's cardinal rules for American fortune seekers, proto-cryptozoologists, and adventurers who were making the trek into the Himalayas and hoped to encounter the Abominable Snowman—also known as the Yeti.

Forward on the front lines. We had other assets tacked to us including CEWI tracks for counter electronic, GSR, Redeye/Stinger sections and smoke generator sections . Plus some engineer and arty FO.
So a fluid front not a rigid.

For the withdrawal plans, we train with the use of forwarddeployed supply dumps which contained ammo, fuel, rations. This was a complicated concept which took a lot of training. These were scattered to the rear of most units. A secondary mission of the shattered cavalry units. These FSP were top riorityod Soviet airborne.
