The photos on this page were sent in by Mike Sisco - CTT
#1. CTT #1 and CTT #2 served with the 25th Infantry Division - headquartered
at the "Tunnel City" of Cu Chi. CTT numbered Teams were
"provisional" until General Westmoreland issued the orders for Activation and
Organization in February 1968. The CTTs then became either "Infantry Platoon
Combat Tracker" (IPCT) or "Infantry Detachment Combat Tracker" (IDCT). The
IPCTs were attached to a Division and IDCTs were attached to Brigades. Combat
Tracker Teams were under the control of G2 and G3 for operations and the Division or
Brigade for everything else. It was a very unique specialty - and extremely
successful. As many experts have since written, the military ALWAYS stands down
assets like this-UNTIL the worst happens. Then, it has to be reestablished again -
every time. |

This photo is of Jerry Anglin. There are many Trackers and former
Instructors who have spoken highly of Jerry and would like to be in contact with him.
As of now, Feb. 2000, he is still among the missing. But, the year is young
yet! Update: Jerry attended the 2003 reunion in El Paso, Texas. |

Here's Merle "Hank" Letts about to create a culinary
masterpiece! These guys knew how to barbecue! |

Chef Rodney Meunier - also one of those we haven't been able to locate yet
- preparing the dinner entrees. It looks a LOT better than some of the Gurkha
specialties in Malaysia! |

This is BODIE - (4A75). Bodie was KIA in the ambush of November 16,
1967 which took the lives of four members of CTT #2 - Robert Brede, Mark Howard, Sr.,
Arnold Johnson, and George Koon. May they all rest in peace. |

CTT #1 and #2 had some other four-legged companions - "Hobo" the
dog and "Frank" the cat! |

We aren't quite sure what Peter Katzfey (center) is about to put into the pot - but
judging from the smile on Jerry Anglin's face (left), it must have been good - one way or
another! |

The final result - the infamous CTT #1 and #2 Barbecue! And a big
thank you to Mike Sisco! |
