Hi my nane is Danny and I helped put the 196th togeather at Devens, I was in a Ord. Co. at the time, me and 2 or 3 others went to the MP Co. there and lost all contact reguarding the unit.

Co. I spoke about please give them my email add. dan6@msn.com and in the subject pox put "196-th" Jeep.
Thank you Danny. |

Although the 196th had some rough days, there was never a time when the unit "was almost wiped out."
The unit as a brigade consisted of over 3000 soldiers. I think the most we lost at one time was due to a helicopter crash in March 1971 when we lost 30 or more at one time.
You can download a listing of the 196th KIA's by date from the HONOR ROLL tab on the HOME page. Just quick review will show some significant dates, like 6/11/69 when we lost 18, and 8/26/70 when we lost 27, but we never lost the entire brigade. |

From the Casualty Logs
May 1968 83 KIA 33 from 3/21 and 26 from the 2/1 and 17 from 4/31
and 5 from F Troop 1 from 82 A and 1 BDE
Jan 1968 76 KIA 39 from 3/21 and 26 from 2/1 7 from 4/31 3 from 82, 1 BDE
Aug 1969 67 KIA 38 from 4/31 and 23 from 3/21 (plus others)
Feb 1968 50 KIA 26 from 2/1 and 8 from 4/31 7 from F troop (plus others)
March 1969 47 KIA 21 from 3/21 and 18 from 2/1 (plus others)
These numbers can be a little off because it’s hard to identify some of the casualty dates.
