A Note from The Virtual Wall1LT Lovett was assigned to Mobile Advisory Team 107, a component of MACV's Advisory Team 43. On the morning of 16 Oct 1970, two ARVN Regional Force platoons and their American advisors were airlifted into a position along Highway 1 on the edge of the Iron Triangle. The two platoons separated, conducting parallel sweeps to the west while remaining within mutual support distance. In early afternoon both platoons halted for a break and to eat. Lovett's RF Company 636 platoon was located a short distance north of Highway 1, with the second RF platoon about a mile distant. While the RF soldiers ate a Viet Cong unit crept to within ambush range and opened fire with B-40 rounds and heavy small arms fire. 1LT Lovett was hit in the opening volley and died before a medevac could be called in. |
