[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 522563, member: 1912"] [COLOR=blue]In those days I was medical support for those who had the nasty job of directly cleaning up the mess. We don't send one unit of grave registration types in to collect the bodies. Much of our brigade was mobilized. Along with factions of first corps support command and some of the 82nd providing security. I even saw a few green beenies running around though I'm not sure what they were doing there possibly gathering intelligence not sure. There are a lot of logistics involved with such a clean up (900 + bodies). There were also security concerns heightened by the fact that a congressman had been killed and concern that some of the crazys were still running loose. Support included he 57th medevac, combat support hospitals and epidemology / disease control support. Transportation companies to move our dead americans and so on. This was deep, basically undeveloped jungle terrain without many of the modern conviences we are used to. Guyana asked us to come in and clean up the mess. A few guys in my unit were selected to assist the grave registration troops I was glad I was not one of them. So yes I was part of the medical support for that effort but luckily I did not have to deal with the direct clean up of that mess. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
