The demobilization process did not officially end until 5 July when the last elements of the Venezuelan Battalion returned home.
In the meantime I'm moving up four more batteries, and elements of the Second Battalion, but they won't reach you before noon.
During the battle the elements of the 1st Battalion were ordered into an attack in which they sustained over 50% casualties.
We knew that elements of the 1st Battalion, which were still on outpost duty near Villancourt, had made contact with the enemy during the afternoon.
The deployed elements of the 2d Battalion quickly took cover in the potato field and found protection from this fire by digging with their spades.
By July 5, elements of the 2nd Battalion, 8th Marines were engaged in heavy fighting with Taliban forces.
Within a few minutes he caught up with the rear elements of the 2nd Battalion.
Fifty minutes later, the lead elements of the 2/48th Battalion entered the main mission complex, which was found to be quite badly damaged.
Although all three battalions were involved with the operation, only elements of the 2nd Battalion actually participated in the raid into Laos.
Remaining elements of the 1st Battalion captured assigned objectives.
