NJUffiATIVE SlJMM~~

• Prior to the time of receipt of the iaitial Warning Or~er for

deployment of the Regiment as a Regimental Landing Team1 eL1phas:Ls within the Command was on advanced ta0ticaJ. training$ Units of the Regiment were actively engaged in training exercises Drlolvir~ ready force recall, air movement training and related combat pre­paredness of a infantry regiment. li. continuing emphasis was placed on basic training of the individual Marine in the areas of General. Militar,y Subjects, i~~l Marksmanship training, RVN orientation and related military subjects, drownproofing and physical readiness testing in addition to scheduled TACTESTS as required by FMFPac directives.·

During the months of January and the early part of February units of the Regiment had participated in BLT Airlift exercises to test Contingency Plan 303-67 receiving training Which later pr~ved in­valuable. This training aided materially to the smooth, efficient execution of the Regimental 303 Plan when ordered to deploy to the Republic of Vietnam.

Although the 27th Marines had. little preparatory time prior to the actual movement of troops, equipment and supplies from CONUS to RVN it is considered that the Regiment was j~ an excellent state of readiness and adequately prepared for execution of the assigned mission when the order was given. As outlined in Part III a few problems did develope during the· movement. Of those the most sig­nificant was the mass transfer of non-d.eployables and replacement of these Marines with eligible personnel to meet the combat readin~:it?.s standards. A few mi!lOr problems developed which could not be antici­pated such as the change from the basic plan as to moveoent of bulk ca.:-::-60 which although producing n·~inor problems were resolved \vi tt.out adversely effecting the combat e~ficiency of the RLT. The Cammand responded to the order and was Bmply prepared by the end of February to assume its assigned mission within the Republic of Vietrnam as a combat unit of tfl.e 1st Marine Division.

SEQt1'E!I1TIAL LISTING OF SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

1. Significant i!QP:i.ca

a. Personnel. During the :perioti 12-?.-:: £\31:-.L:..:<.c:ry th:i.s Regiment experienced a. personnel turnover of approx:.wa:tely ;.400 offi~cJ:-s e.nd men. When the vlarning Order -.v;;:;.;:; rccei ved on 12 :i!'c. b:!:u ary 1 ?s-S +.here wa.s some initial confusion on the criteria established for :p<:r,; SJ :r.nel to be eligible for deployment. This was cleared up l.?..;·~~:r. i::1 the dey and after screening of personnel records it was dete:r~ci:.1efl tb:=J·t there were a.pproxi;mately 33 Officers and 643 enlisted wi thi!l th9 Hegi:nent eligible for deployment. It was than necessary to trausf0r out same 1500 non-deployables and. concurrently join approximately 1900 per­sonnel in order for the Regement to deploy at T/0 strength. The turnover process was further complicated by the fact thF,t 2/27 began initial deployment commencing 14 February .. Thus it was no-Jcss~y to buil!3, to T/0 level those units scheduled for early deplr:;yrnent e.J.:..1. incoming personnel were fed to the battalions and Be1=1dq'.1arbrs Compa.l'l.Y according to the imctediate needs anc1. T/,0. Ident:Lfyj.ng the nc-:~1-doployableot pro­cessing requests for deferred assignments, obtE<.inir..g "rnive:-s e..:'ld accom­plishing the required persoru1el accounting necessary tv tranefer the non-deployablos were major problems encountered between receipt of the \'laming Order and arrivnl in Vietne.m. · Tho input of personne:!.. frcm the 5th Division units was characterized to a large degree by an input of non-infontry T/0 type ii'!OS's to fil+ infantry MOS billets. Of paticula.r significance in this aroe was the assignment of approximately 23 Offi­cers· possessing l10S 1s ,not rated by an infantry regiment, and the jr.,ining of the folloWing enlisted MOS•s to fill infantr.y billets~ 50-1345; 671371; 52-1391; 31-1121; 10-1316; 66-1811; 85-1833; 18-2142; 15-3111; and an asssortment of other non-infantry MOS's of varying types.

b. INTELLIGENCE

(1) Prior to notification to deploy the Reg~ental Intelligence Section was engaged in routine security work and tactical planr1ing for a schedUhed two (2) day Command Post Exercise in mid-February.

(2) On 13 February the alerting directive WFts received by the Regiaent. The Regimental s-2 innediately joined a Photo Interperter TeaLl, e.nd Air Observers. Tactical maps and aerial photographs were delivered, inventoried, distributed and packed for Shipment. Prior plPr.:ning for deployment enabled. the Intelligence Section to mount out without any major difficulties.

(3) On 15 Februar,y the Assistant Intelligence Officer and forward inerenont deployed for RVlT with the remainder of the section following later as scheduled. On 22 February the section completed the move and reformed. Air Observers and Photo Intarperter personnel were­transferred to CG, 1st Mo.rine Division for assignot.'llt. The airlifted supplies·, maps and photos began arriving on 25 :F'obruary 1968- The .

cJ Training. Tho Regiment was. undo;t>going extensive tr.<\ining in RVN Orientation, air novement training as well as normal General :Hilitary SUbjects training a.t the tine the ordor to deploy was received. Nomal preparatory training had boon initiated in roc all of personnel,. and mount out of l3LT 1 s by air. Upon receipt of tl1e order scheduled training programs were stop:ped within the hegiment and the prepexed Contingency ~lan 303-67 was placed into effect. Upon arrival of troops in the Republic of Vietnan orientation train­ing was increased at all levels of the co&1and. Due to the necessity of reestablishing the CP during the renaining few rlays of February no fomal t+ainiilg -programs had been initiated at the end of this ' specific neporting period.

d. Qpera.tions. The major significant event within the areas o£ operations during this period was the actual utilization of the Regiments' Contingency Plan 303-67 establishing tho criteria for just such an ev<::.nt as thLt which occurred • ...<:J. thot,gh there were a few lo«istical problems enconnt<..rod in the t1ove, tho operat:i.on was carried out quickly, efficiently and as plnnned. Coordination between the u .. s. Air Force (63rd. Military ldrlift Ving, Norton AFB} and tho Marine Corps facilities at MCAS, El Toro proved that prior planning he.d been r..doquate. During the few renaining days of this reporting period no n~jor operations had been conducted althour;h subordinate units of the Command. did conduct combat patrols, search and destroy missions as well as other normal combat operational requirements doriving from actual committmont.

e. Logistics

(1) :&11ba.rkation. On 14 J!'ebrue:by the first elements of RLT-27 dep?Lrted MCll.S, El Toro. On 23 February the airlift of RLT-27 was completed. A total of 97 aircraft were use~. to airlift 3,349 personnel and 1,195 .. 65 short tons of cargo from CONUS to RVN.

( 2) .QJ;dnooce. The one si&nificant item Within t he ordnance field was that troops of RL~27 were not ~ed with the M-16 rifle, and had in their poss,__ssion the ll-14 rifle.

(3) Suijpl,y. RLT-27 d0ployed with only mount out supplies. O:P-­erational stock was inventoried and returned to Fleet Stock Account at Marine Corps·Base, Camp Pendleton. Upon arrival in ccnntry RLT-27 was force fed jungle equipment by 5th FSR and Force Logistic Command.

(4) Motor Transport. J:J.l combat essential doadlinod equipment was replaced at Camp Pendleton prior to deployment. ~is was accon­plished by redistribution by the 5th Marine Division of required i toms from othel' units of the Divisio:p not being deployed.

• • £. Oomm:unications. The colllllllmications sections of the Regiment

encountered no major problems in mmmting out on short notice. Al­tho~ a number of trained communications personnel were transfer~d out (non-deployables) and new personnel were ob~ained to replace them, the sections were not adversely effected. Connnunice:tions equipment was in a high state of readiness for deployment and prior planning for execution of the )O) Plan precluded major proolems. Changes made by the embarkation section in the sequenoe of loading 'b-9-k cargo did adversely effect the sect:ion' s ability to establish Cl? communications upon arrival in RTil. This problem howeve:r· was not broughtabout by the preparation or execution of thP- )0) Plan by the communications sections of the Regiment; and the i11·terem use of "ihe 1st Marine Divisions assets 1m til the palletized l'quipment arrived prevented ~ serious problems.

g. Medical. The Medical department was adequately prepared for deployment and encountered a minimum amount of difficulty deriving from the movement of the Regiment. The major problem encountered was the preparation of health records and immunization of deployable troops. This problem developed from the mass turnover of personnel within a extremely short period of time • With the input of tra1..-·1ed medical personnel by the 5th Marine Division as required the Medical Department was able to deploy and once in RVN operate as required with a minimum amount of difficulty. Upon arrival in RVN ;;he sectio:q concentrated on insuring that medical standards throughout the Regiment were met and treatment at personnel was accomplished when and '.Jhere needed.

h.. Relig,icn and M{)rel.e. During January 1968 moral was at a low poi:-;.t. Upon receiving notification of deployment in Februaxy 1968 ~o the Republic of Vietnam mo:ralQ took an expected rise for the 'Letter. During the period of preparation for mounting out the Chape:J. helped approximately 1700 dep:'ldents of men being deployed. Since being in the Republic of Viet;:"':m the morale has attained great heights the men have an eagerness to perform their duties and problems are of a minimum. There has been a marked increase in spiritual awareness throughout the Regiment which is reflected in Chapel attendance.
