I'm responding to a fairly old posing concerning John L Marchelli. I served with the 526th CC&S (Co E Troop Command) 5/69-4/70. I was on Sgt Miller's M88 crew and later volunteered for the Permanent Security Force I don't know if your still working on his claim but I remember that the Co Cpt Beegle had a M113 APC equipped with a light from a M60 Tank. It was Zeon Light. The APC also was equipped with a Mini Gun. A picture of SNOOPY was painted on the side and as I recall it was nicknamed the HEAD BEEGLE.

If I can help in any way please let me know.

If you have collected any information the 526thCC&S (Co E Troop Command)please let me know.

I'm looking for informantion about the fire fight June 7-8 1969. I'm trying to find the name of the guy who came into county with me. We were both Guard Tower Duty that night. He was hit with a B 40 Rocket. He was still alive when they medevaced him out.

I'm also trying to find out inforation about an incident that happend during an alert. A new guy was trying to mount an M88. The crew member that was driving wasn't aware that (the new guy) was trying ot come aboard. As the 88 moved out the new guy slippped between the track and sprocket. He lost both his legs.

Looking for information about the night that the Company Armor (69-70) was fooling around with a 45 pistol he wasn't aware that a round was still in the chamber. He shot the guy next to me. He wasn't killed because he was wearing his flack jacket. We were preparing to go out on Guaard Duty.

Looking for informantin about a Lt. new to the unit. He was inspecting the Towers. H&I was called in during his inspection. He was hit at the base of Tower 4 during the H&I.
