Patrol Duty in Vietnam Deadlier Than Battle
American infantry casualties in Vietnam rise on patrols more than in large engagements. Most wounds come from shell fragments or mines. 65 percent of deaths and injuries occur on small unit patrols. Mines, booby traps, and firing devices account for significant portions of Marine and other units' losses, with malaria also taking a toll on cavalry.
