A note from the Webmaster:  Morning Reports are not included in this section.  The copies from the National Personnel Records Center are made from microfiche and are of extremely poor quality.  It is barely possible to read those copies, and the quality would suffer so much by putting them on the web that they would be unusable.  I am slowly building a collection of Morning Reports, but probably have less than 5% of all the Morning Reports created during the company's time in Vietnam.  I will be happy to answer any questions from legitimate veterans of C 2/5 Cavalry.  Email me at webmaster@tallcomanche.org.

After Action Reports

1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile)  Pleiku Campaign  - This rare document, published unclassified in March 1966, details the first major battle between US and NVA forces in October - November, 1965.  The campaign included the famous Ia Drang Valley fight in which C 2/5 Cav participated.
