A Brigade push or an attack the Huey's needed to assault one battalion at a time or 600 of 1000 men 1000 men = 1 battalion , 1 battalion is always held in reserve , 4 battalions = 1 Brigade this does not include headquarters and other components .

The top pic is Australian Diggers going out to rescue John Wayne and his surrounded GIs.
The bottom pick is GIs again with all their gear and tin hats. Diggers rarely used tin hats.

This type of push was extremely rare as Huey's had to brought in from all over Vietnam, I'm not sure about this one but I Think it was Operation Junction City 1967 War zone C several enemy units were on the run trying hard to get back to Cambodia before being cut off, I arrived in Bein Hoag from the States two months later.

They had plenty later, so many they were pushing them off Aircraft carriers.

Many of those dumped in the ocean were ships that were worn out mechanically also the air frames had to many hours.

That's possible sometime the crews disagreed on issues and the bullets would fly.
