And so I said, there has to be a headquarters up here somewhere.

Of course, I'm just whispering.

And so Doni and I leave the team, and Doni and I start following where the common wire is, because we figured the whole team, we're not going to get there quietly.

So Doni and I start working our way along where that common wire is, and it goes for quite a while, and then all of a sudden, I get to a low area where there's an old river or something like that.

And then on the other side,

I hear the artillery that they're using to bombard Ben Hitt.

It was, I don't know, 50 artillery pieces, 105s, 155, that kind of thing.

And they're going boom, boom, boom in the camouflage.

But I can see the leaves blowing every time the shell comes out, you know.

And we get closer, and I start getting close.

And I can see where scores of artillery pieces are left along here.

This is what was bombarding Bandahat.

And it is the place where all the artillery was.

So anyway, we start looking for landmarks to get it really zeroed down to exactly where that would be on a map.

And I saw where that old river was where there was kind of a cliff face.

And I said, that's it on the map, and so on.

And we isolated it.

We knew exactly where it was.

So we make our way and join the team and do a sit rep back to the FOB and said, we found the artillery, basically what we're saying, that is bombarding Banhat.

And they said, immediately go, and I forget what it was, the nearest LZ.
