Fire Support Bases "Coral" and "Balmoral", Vietnam [Australian War Memorial] (557 words) |
 | Several fire support bases (FSBs) were established to provide defended firing points for artillery and mortars which would cover foot patrols to be sent out by the battalions (1 and 3 RAR). |
| The base was now defended by armoured personnel carriers of A Squadron, 3rd Cavalry Regiment, and 1RAR's rifle companies, all of which were heavily engaged; part of the A Company position was occupied for a period, but the enemy was forced to withdraw. |
| Fire Support Base Coral, Bien Hoa Province, Vietnam. |
