Tonight, units will attack the headquarters for the entire communist military operation in south vietnam.

Its at signed mission of the forces of the 10th army, backed by heavy fire, a proof of the 24th army corps head for the beach. Tanks embarking in the assault waves make headway under their own power. In addition to overall waterproofing, special flotation gear gives the tanks the necessary buoyancy. This increases the facility with which armored units can be brought ashore. The pan toontoons are secured. L landings hit the east central shore of okinawa and are relatively unopposed.
