15.01.2022 #OTD The Battle of Long Tan On the 18th of August 1966, 6RAR participated in the most recognised Australian battle of the Vietnam War the Battle of Long Tan.... Following the artillery attack the morning before, D Company 6RAR was directed to patrol along the Vietcong firing positions and engage with any enemy in the area. Their patrol led them into a rubber plantation near the abandoned village of Long Tan. It was in this rubber plantation that the famous battle took place. As the Company advanced, the lead element, 11 Platoon, came in contact with a small group of Vietcong. After a short engagement, the enemy fled eastward with 11 Platoon in pursuit. Little did they know that they were about to collide with a major enemy force. Just after 4pm, 11 Platoon came under heavy fire from an enemy of unknown strength. 10 Platoon was ordered to move forward to assist but were also stopped after coming under intense fire. As the skies opened and the heavy monsoonal rains fell, the visibility was further reduced by the rain and resulting ‘mud mist’ which rose when the earth was splashed up by the force of the drops. With the Company now separated and outnumbered, the situation was becoming dire. Ammunition was running low, and casualties were mounting more than half of 11 Platoon had been injured during the first 20 minutes of the engagement. A unified defensive position had to be established to give the Company the best chance of countering the enemy attack. After further fighting, the 13 surviving members of 11 Platoon were finally able to withdraw to the rest of the Company’s position at 6pm. Half an hour later, they were joined by 12 Platoon and a proper Company defensive position was established. For the next half an hour, D Company faced relentless assaults by a numerically superior and determined Vietcong force. The fire support from three batteries of 1 Field Regiment at Nui Dat, 161 Battery Royal New Zealand Artillery, and a battery of American artillery from the 2/35th Artillery Battalion were crucial to preventing the Australian position from being overrun. The Allied gunners fired almost 3,500 rounds and are estimated to have killed at least 50% of the attacking enemy. As darkness fell at 1900, relief finally arrived with the arrival of B Company’s APCs which had been dispatched from Nui Dat. Their .50 calibre machineguns decimated the advancing enemy and forced them to retreat. The battle was finally over. D Company suffered 18 killed and 24 wounded during the battle. The Australians counted 245 enemy dead still in the plantation the following day, but there was evidence that others had been removed from the battlefield. It was only after the battle that it became evident that D Company had faced some 2,500 Vietcong during the battle from the 275th Regiment and D445 Battalion close to ten times their number. For their bravery, 6RAR was awarded the US Presidential Unit Citation on the 28th of May 1968. 6RAR and 3rd Cavalry Regiment were also awarded the battle honour ‘Long Tan’, one of only five presented to Australian units during the war. Their courage is testament to the bravery of Australian soldiers. Given the odds 6RAR faced, it is clear why the Battle of Long Tan is considered one of the defining moments in Australia’s military history. --------------------------------------------------------------- If you spot an error, please send me a message.

10.01.2022 Do you know what to do if an emergency vehicle is approaching? If the emergency vehicle is behind you sounding an alarm or with flashing lights, you must move... out of their path as soon as it is safe to do so. Be aware of your surroundings, don’t panic, use your indicators and safely move to the left if you can. If you can’t move out of the way, stay where you are and the emergency vehicle will drive around you. More information here: bit.ly/32s1YRm
