Nui Ba Den Mountain. I had the mission of leading the 1st recon mission down that terrrain feature. I was a lrrp with the 25th Division at the time. My team and I spent three days and two nights negotiating the boulders and triple canopy jungle to get to the bottom (Northeast side). We spotted bucoup VC while going down and when I called in our last sitrep, A new C.O. ordered us to return to the top of the mountain.
I, for obvious reasons, Decided to call for an emergency extraction. When the helicopter got us to the top of the mountain. The new C.O. chewed my a-- for a while and then ordered that I be one of two NCOs That he had been ordered to provide to B-36 (SF 3RD Mobile Strike Force). It was probably the best move that I ever made in the Army,
