Award - 3rd Brigade Task Force 25th Infantry Division - Vietnam - November 1967 (modified)

Soldier receiving an award in Vietnam, Slide Dated November 1967.
Update Nov 5, 2011
Officer on the right appears to be MAJ Black. Officer on Left is believed to be LTC William (Wild Bill) Miller. If so - this is probably 1st Battalion, 14th Infantry (Golden Dragons).

The name of the soldier receiving award is hard to read and may be something with about seven letters, with B or P or R first and second (or second and third), possible an M and a C toward the end

Historical Background by Others

The 3rd Brigade established a foothold in the rugged terrain around Pleiku and created a blocking force against Viet Cong personnel and supplies infiltrating south along the Ho Chi Minh trail and the Cambodian border. Their primary mission was to destroy any possible crossing sites along the frontier and disrupt any attempts by the North Vietnamese Army to conduct major combat efforts in the Central Highlands.

In April 1967, the BDE was attached to Task Force Oregon and engaged Viet Cong units in Quang Ngai province, receiving a Valorous Unit Award. The Broncos remained an independent brigade, under the control of the Second Field Force, until August, 1967, when it was e-established in Cu Chi. The Bronco battalions remained in the central highlands and were reassigned to the 4th DIV. Based at Dau Tieng, the 3rd BDE, 25th DIV assumed command of the former 3rd BDE, 4th DIV units, the 2-12th INF, 2-22 INF (MECH) and 3-22nd INF. The 2-14 INF replaced 3-22 INF in February, 1970. The BDE received credit for 12 Vietnam campaigns.
