Continue in war movies Apocalypse Now and its famous 9th Cavalry. Very nice squad of this unit to the Lego MOC format.
The 1st Squadron, 9th Cavalry Regiment was the reconnaissance squadron of the First Cavalry Division during the Vietnam War. As such, it was systematically engaged in combat and neutralized more enemies than the rest of the First Cavalry's units. Each of the reconnaissance troops was divided into three sections: The Red team, composed of combat helicopters, served as artillery. The White team, made up of reconnaissance helicopters. The Blue team, made up of infantry and UH-1 transport helicopters. Infantry platoons were heavily armed, as they were often deposited in the midst of enemy activity. They carried double the number of M-60 machine guns and grenade launchers compared to regular infantry units. Infantrymen from the 1st to the 9th wore distinctive blue bandanas in the field, as opposed to the yellow worn by the rest of the Cav for ceremonies. Matthew Brennan's books "Brennan War" and "Headhunters" cover both life and death in 1st through 9th grade in detail.
