This "non-combatant," the Medical Platoon Leader (Dave Eckberg), was taken along for the ride that day after he had finished getting statements on the "Friendly Fire" investigation. The burned-down VC hootch is in the background.

Back at the CP in Nui Tron, Captain Vitters and Van, the Kit Carson Scout, sit with the captured NVA officer and the captured AK-47, before the Medical Platoon Leader was put to work in escorting the prisoner back to FSB Hill 4-11 on the Charlie-Charlie (Command and Control helicopter). Shown here also is Sergeant Vernon Ransier, Weapons Platoon Leader, with his foot propped on the sandbag wall. Notice the 81mm mortar in the background.
