Dusters Soldier Guards Bases In Unique Tank Gun Crew
Spec. 4 Robert B. Raupach from Brook Street serves with the 144th Artillery at Dong Ha Combat Base in Vietnam. The dusters, two 40 mm guns on a light tank chassis, fire at up to 240 rounds per minute to saturate targets before infantry. Raupach explains their role, crew of five, and the unit's slogans as he reflects on war, protest at home, and his plans after service.
