Description
Di An, South Vietnam. June 1970. While an American instructor feeds in the rounds, Corporal Mick Schneider of Mt Lawley, WA, fires a burst from an M60 machine gun during range practice, about fifteen miles north east of Saigon. He was one of a small number of NCOs who joined the Australian Army Training Team Vietnam (AATTV), and attended an eighteen day course at the American Advisor School. As part of the enlarged role for AATTV, these men will work in Mobile Advisory and Training Team (MATTs) with South Vietnamese regional and popular force soldiers in Phuoc Tuy Province.
