My older brother was one of Uncle Sam's Misguided Children from 66 to 70.(as he would have said)
He was a tanker and was part of Task Force Robbie. Is there any info out there on the net that might help me understand what he was doing?
his name L CPL T. Yax I understand he was working with1st recon as well

found out Task Force Robbie was a rapid reaction Flame Tankers group. One of many in the Cam Lo area. The pictures help explain it.

when it attempted to relieve some ARVN in trouble.
Someone has put some pictures of Marine tanks up
on a website. I believe one photo shows the lead
tank in TFR after it hit a mine about 500 meters
west of Cam Lo. I was commanding a M-42 unit of
US Army "Dusters" and Quad 50s that accompanied
Task Force Robbie. My Duster was about 30 feet
from a Marine M-60 that took a direct hit from a
RPG, just before the order to retreat was given.
I carried a wounded Marine back on the engine deck
of my Duster when took off, but never knew his name.
