Re: RAID!

 
INTERESTING THOUGHT!

LOL- the MP detachment was based  the actual vehicles and weapons
available to MY detachment in 1970.

an RVN MP squad had about 4 times the firepower of a  rille squad .

3 jeeps, and 1 V-100 were standard for a 12 man squad, with 1 M-60 per
jeep, 2 or 3  M-79s,  plus rifles, pistols, grenades, and LAWs,  radios
for all jeeps and armored cars. all TOE. 

armored car came  with twin LMGs,  and could be beefed up by scrounging.

radio base station, field phones and mobile generator, 2 ea 3/4 tons
were not unsual either, with both fuel and watert tankers., as well as
trailers  for all jeeps.

MP TOEs are  "MAGIC" lke SPECIAL FORCEs  TOE. you can add almost
anything to a basic MP unit at company, platoon level,	and  squad leve.

also, there are different TOEs for diferent  mission designed
companies.  . . . 

LOL, my company in 1970 had;

5 ea V-100 at Vinh Long , 15 ea jeeps,	2  ea 3/4 tonners, and 1 ea 2.5
tonner for the platoon. 

and company HQ had another 6 ea jeeps,	3 ea  3/4 tonners.  2 ea  2.5
toners, 1 ea  5 tonner wreckers, and  1 ea  2.5 tonner	mobile
mechanical shop.

2 ea V-100s, 15 ea jeeps, 2 ea 3/4 tonners,  and 1 ea 2.5 toonner at CAN
THO.

1 ea V-100 at SOC TRANG, 3 ea jeeps, and 1 ea 3/4 tonner.

2 ea V-100 at TAN AN along  with 6  ea jeeps,  and  1 ea 3/4 tonner.  

4 ea  V-100s,  15 ea jeeps, 2 ea 3/4 tonners, and  1 ea 2.5 tonner at MY
THO.

ea 2.5 tonner or 5 tonner comes with a .50-cal HMG too.    

and each platoon  armory has 2 ea  90mm RR or 3.5" RL assigned to it.
LAWs as desired at squad level.

LOL, not exactly what the  average person thought of  when they thought
MP in the  RVN.

MP armament became  heavier and more  divers as the war progressed, and
only GOD knows how man MP TOEs were in use by the USA!	something like
20 plus infantry TOEs were in use that in know of.
