DECLASSIFIED Effects of Monsoon Major R. D. KELLEY 1. Rains will flood stream beds and creeks normally completely dry during the summer season. Flash flooding is frequent, even when rains are light in the area, if the headwaters are located in mountainous terrain. 2. Weapons must be heavily oiled, ammunition carried in waterproof metal containers until last possible time. Mortar tubes should be capped in defensive positions. Ammo magazines must be frequently emptied, oiled, and ammo dried. 3. Patrols should carry 50-100' lengths of rope to use as life lines in streams crossings. Also long bamboo poles can be used. First elements across stream must set up security to cover water crossing, personnel on near bank provide automatic and SA fires to men in water. 4. Fighting positions must be erected above ground in many locations. Empty 60 and 81 mortar ammo boxes, 105 artillery shell casings and standard 7.62 metal ammo boxes can all be used for flooring. Care must be exercised that hand grenades, hand illumination flares, and individual rounds of small arms ammunition are not accidently lost in mud in and around fighting holes. Close supervision must be provided to LPs, OPs, and line defense positions to assure desired observation is available from shelters erected to provide protection from the weather. 5. Dry socks are mandatory to prevent ttorsioh foot. When carried next to the body under outer clothing, they soon dry to a satisfactory degree. 6. The erection of drying tents in platoon and company size patrol bases is an excellent accomodation when the tactical situation permits. Gasoline poured into buckets of sand put out ample heat when ignitedo However, supervision and vnnttLation are mandatory to preclude accidental burning of clotiiing and individuals. 7. Company size patrol bases should contain some excess supplies of water, rations ammo, and medical supplies in the event weather hampers resupply/evacuation. In a static situation , 24 to forty eight hours excess is desired. 8. For morale purposes 9 troop. ftMwe1d-be fed hot chow frequently. Also rotation to rear base areas for at least not showers increases fighting efficiency. DECLASSIFIED Enclosure (4)
