Marine Artillery at DMZ - 1976

Column_1_Spacer Column_2_Spacer
Daniel Glanz wrote on 2003-12-14 12:36:08.0

Comments: This is an abbreviated copy of the letter that I wrote to Hal and Ted yesterday. I have omitted my opinions, and did my best to clean up grammar and structure errors. I have added comments.

I am writing about my time in Korea. When I first contacted you about my Dad 3 years ago, I lightly touched on the fact that my unit, 2nd Bn., 12th Marines was sent to the DMZ area in 1976. We were all aware of the fact that 2/12 was the first Marine unit up there in about 20 years. There were a couple reasons for this...Vietnam ended, and our troops were freed up for deployment elsewhere. Also, our training on Okinawa was encountering increasing resistance by the Okinawans. (I suppose) the logical step was to move our live fire training exclusively to Fuji, and Santa Barbara-Korea. I was deployed with BLT 3/9 and aboard the USS Peoria when we received word of the Panmunjom incident. (18 Aug. 76) We went on alert, and transferred to either the Dubuque or the Cleveland and returned to Okinawa. We remained on alert for a week or so, and monitored news reports closely. BLT 3/9 was relieved by another BLT, and my unit, F/2/12 began preparing for our departure to Korea with the battalion. Our advance party arrived in Korea on 10 Sept.of 76, while we, (the main body of 2/12) arrived at Inchon Harbor on 20 Sept.of 76. We motored north through Seoul around 9:30PM, and arrived in the Santa Barbara area at aprox.11:30 PM. Having been told in advance that we were at DEFCON 3, I personally assesed that our situation looked pretty grim. We couldn't help but marvel at the endless convoy of Army vehicles heading south. While our operation was and still is classified an exercise, I have some facts that I want to impart to you. Operation Paul Bunyan technically began and ended from 18 to 21 Aug 76. It continued on while we were there, and we were part of it. I can only suggest that you be the judge. We did initiate training there. We shot, did dismounted infantry exercises in the Chorwon area and along the length of the DMZ and were pretty much allowed to cover and patrol the whole area from Panmunjom to the Hwachon Resivoir. I can say for a fact that I saw a B-52 fly over our heads at the southern tape of the DMZ area. I also saw a Marine F-4 Phantom fly over the DMZ in front of me - close enough to hit it with a rock. This took place between 22 to 26 Sept.of 76. I began realizing that more was going on than we were being told. Around 28 Sept., upon returning from a mounted patrol with the XO/BOC a PFC approached me and said that we were "locked and loaded up there". I quickly told him that he was "full of it". I said that we were only participating in an exercise, and no way could we be on a war footing. I hurt his feelings pretty bad, by the way his face looked . But, I genuinely thought he was jerking my chain. Well, my belated apologies to PFC_____. About one week later, The XO pulled up to our comm platoon tent in a Gamma Goat and said, "You want to go, L/Cpl Glanz?" I said yes, and grabbed my rifle, two radios and encryption stuff. I climbed in the back, secured the radios, and set the frequencies. We drove up Highway 33 (or3) I think from the Santa Barbara to the DMZ southern wire. We had the Gamma Goat in front (BOC), with two 2 1/2 ton trucks towing two 105's, with full crews. We did some hip shooting in a couple spots and headed west towards Panmunjom on greatly improved gravel roads that for the most part seemed to run the length of the DMZ. All the while seeing the Army artillery moving and shooting everywhere around us. After practicing a hipshoot just south of Panmunjom, we turned north and crossed over Freedom Bridge. Keep in mind that my vantage point was seeing clearly where we had been as we were moving. I had only a limited field of vision looking around the drivers and to the sides of the cab. I initally sat closest to the cab and the radio, with the XO to my right. We went through Kitty Hawk, and into the JSA. As the Gamma Goat rounded the corner of the Freedom House, the driver picked up speed and drove past the conference buildings at about 30 MPH. I didn't see any North Koreans as we passed through, and remember the sensation of leaving blacktop for about 20 seconds and bouncing over grass. We then hit pavement and circled past the No Return bridge and tree. We headed out of the JSA and crossed Freedom Bridge out of the DMZ. We repeated this process of entering the JSA three or four different times, in the space of 6 hours or so. Each time it varied slightly. Sometimes, driving through Taesong-dong, a couple of times driving to the foot of No Return bridge, and circling out and away from it. We were within 15 feet of the poplar lying on the ground. I deliberately blanked it out of my memory for almost 28 years. But, as of the last few weeks, I now recall a lot of what happened while being up there. I have tried putting it down on paper and in emails before on several occasions, but my dates and facts were wrong or incomplete. I recall a rudimentary (two minute) debrief process by an officer from our S-2. He asked me if anything happened, and I said no. I was never specifically told that I shouldn't talk about our being in the JSA, so I'm telling you what I can. I am of the belief that so few of us knew of or actually went on these security patrols, that most of my fellow Marines serving with 2/12 don't have a memory of them. For the Marines that do, I've done my best to describe what we did up there - on the one day that I went. And, tell the truth.

I worked as a mail clerk for approx. 7 to 8 mo. and we got mail 7 days a week. I then asked to be put in the Unit Police, my barricks was S-3 as a mail clerk at the top of the hill and when I was a U-P my barricks was at the No. end of Freedom Bridge. Yes, agent orange was used on the DMZ by Co. B of the 1st 31 st. If you have any questions about this you can contact your VA office and they can answer your questions. I know about the Agent Orange because I am the commander at VFW Post 886 in Pontiac, Illinois. I hope to hear from anyone who was there during this period, I served from Jan.1972 thru March 1973.

Ax Murders

Column_1_Spacer Column_2_Spacer
William Urban wrote on 2003-11-18 23:40:31.0

Comments: I have a question for anyone out there. I was in Vietnam in 1970, both In-Country and Gulf Of Tonkin. We were pulled out of South-East Asia and sent to North-East Asia off the Coast of North Korea, China and Russia in September, for a couple of weeks. A Carrier Task Force consisting of 1 Aircraft Carrier and 4 Destroyers. We didn't know at the time what we were being sent there for. I subsequently learned that the North Koreans had come across the Bridge Of No Return and hacked to death some American Army Officers who were pruning trees. This took place on September 17th, 1970.

We were sent up there as a "show of force" to back the North Koreans down. It worked and things quieted down. Later we returned to South-East Asia and resumed duty on "Yankee Station". While off the coast of North Korea we evidently got too close to the border of Russia. Soviet Planes flew out of Vladivstock to shadow us and our Planes, (namely Phantom F-4J Fighter-Bomber's) were launched to shadow them. This "cat and mouse" game went on, back and forth for some time.

My question is I have been able to find web sites regarding an Axe Murder that evidently took place in 1976, but no site's that say anything about Axe Murder's in 1970. Does anyone know anything about this and can enlighten me?

Thanks,

William P. Urban

Comments: I remember the Red, Black and Green worn in the TDC area during my 1976-1977 tour. Times were tough! PT on those cold mornings at 5 degrees with black sweater caps and ice on the mustache. The cutting down of the tree prompted some instant art work in the TONG DU CHON area. Ali came over and did his things for the troops. SGM Bill Beaty was there then and still is. He retired and got married there. Spoke with him in 1997, as I went back 20 years later. Things were different then. I remember Pop's Taylor and all the clubs. Carey Davis and James Roland were two of my best friends then. We are still in touch. Roland is in Kansas City and Davis in North Carolina. Yes, I rode the top of garbage trucks to escort them as they made trash pick-ups at the mess halls. I did club patrol and the like. HHC 2X was my home away from home. Shout out to the all the guys worked Div Reenlistment during that time!
