Hamburger Hill Essay

It’s hard to believe there are five problems with In-N-Out Burger because of how successful the company is and how delicious the burgers are. Well at least that what I heard, one of my friends that moved to California confessed to me that the reason he moved was because he loved In-N-Out Burger’s. But as I began to read I found more than five devastating problems that the Snyder family encountered as pioneers of the fast food business.

For ten long days, American and South Vietnamese Army troops fought alongside each other to gain control of Dong Ap Bia, Hill 937. Their mission was to search and destroy the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) and the Viet Chong (VC), believed to have grouped in the A Shau Valley area. The battle now known as Hamburger Hill begun May 10, 1969 and is recognized as one of the last major encounter between the Americans and the NVA. Lieutenant Colonel (LTC) Weldon Honeycutt, commander of the 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry Regiment

Forces were the 3rd Battalion, 187th Infantry, 2nd Battalion, 501st Infantry, and the 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry. These units were supported by the 9th Marines and the 3rd Battalion, 5th Cavalry, as well as elements of the Army of Vietnam. ‘Don’t mean nothing’, That was the reference from the powerful 1987 movie about the battle for Hamburger Hill, more correctly called Ap Bia Mountain also known as Hill 937. Many soldiers of that May 1969 fight would no doubt agree, since the hill was abandoned to the enemy soon after it was taken. But the truth is that it was one of the most key and historical battles of the war, for it spelled the end of Major American ground combat operations in Vietnam.

The battle had finally swung in favor of the Americans for a brief moment. The amount of casualties the NKPA took is unclear however, the NPKA realized that a frontal attack on the hill in which Task Force Smith sat was not feasible. (Ibid, pg 73) Despite the heavy casualties, the NPKA held their position and waited for reinforcements. When the reinforcements arrived, they were able to flank the depleted Task Force and rout-out the American position with an overwhelming force. Task Force Smith had quickly been over ran and most of the casualties came from the withdraw as the American soldiers were exposed to enemy fire. When the fighting had concluded, the Americans returned with 250 soldiers on the American occupied territory by the end of

The battle on Ia Dang Valley sets the foundation leading to numerous conflicts of American involvemet in the Vietnam War. The engagement between American and North Vietnamese troops were siginificant in that it persisted even after the American troops withdrew from Vietnam. The stories in We Were Soilders Once and Young are imperative in understanding the secondary sources as it proves that the war in vitenam was problematic from the beginning. The chances of the United States winning seemed very high yet, this battle proved the Vietnamese were prepared to fight against American forces. The authours Harold G. Moore and Joesph L. Galloway main arguments are that the battle of Ia Dang Valley was the beginning of the many conflicts that were faced by Americans being in Vietnam.

The development of the military art and technology during the war also played a huge role as its innovations and tactics were believed to be efforts to achieve overall victory against the Vietnamese troops, yet this was not the case in the end.

The Koffler Scientific Reserve at Joker’s Hill is located at the western end of Oak Ridges Moraine (ORM), hence they share common geological features. Therefore, just as in the rest of the ORM, the parent material or bedrock of Joker’s Hill is Ordovician shale and limestone (Johnson et al., 1992). 570 million years ago, what is now southern Ontario was under warm shallow seas (Rock Ontario, 1994, p.49). Between 401-417 million years ago, the sea started to recede and left sand, clay and silt deposits in the region. With time, the materials left behind were compressed into sedimentary rocks. After the retreat of the sea, coral reefs eventually became the coral rocks and the marine species eventually became carbonated rocks--both types of which contain calcium. After long term erosion, the calcium and carbonate rocks became the main composition of the limestone (Goreau, 2006). During the Pleistocene, about 2 million years ago, the Wisconsin glacier advanced across southern Ontario, depositing glacial sediments directly

In many war stories officers are depicted as the, “heroes of the battle” based off of what was credited in history. Some supported the war efforts exhausted in order to contain communism and others felt like we were fighting an unjust war. The views of the Battle on Pork Chop Hill are no different. US forces originally occupied a location originally known as Hill 355 in October of 1951. The tactics used to capture and fight for this location were brutal, and exhausting for both sides. Various Infantry and Artillery units fought to capture and defend this hill. Using Artillery during this war was key for U.S. forces to capture and control Pork Chop Hill. Even though some would say it was a long drawn out war, it shows the importance of artillery during battle because it provides soldiers basic leadership skills, strengthens future generations of soldiers, and their basic military heritage and tactics.

Introduction On March 8th, 1965, the first American combat troops landed in Vietnam. This event marked a new era of US involvement in the battle to defend South Vietnam from Northern communist expansion. In the eight years of fighting which followed, 2.7 million Americans would eventually serve in Vietnam, and the United States would end up spending $111 billion, not adjusted for inflation, on the conflict. Yet, despite large advantages both militarily and financially, the United States surprisingly failed to claim victory over the Soviet-backed North Vietnamese. The three critical reasons why the United States failed in Vietnam was because of their military strategy, failure to establish a stable infrastructure in the South, and dwindling
