In a combat situation, when facing a heavy contact with the enemy, timely notification to request close air support is crucial. Despite the holiday and limited nearby assets, immediate notification enabled the team to receive gunships to assist. In the absence of quick extraction, utilizing delaying techniques such as claymores with time fuses proved effective. Recognizing the enemy's resilience, adapting tactics by using automatic fire for more knockdown power was noted. The importance of communication and updating the situation with available assets like gunships with 20-millimeter and napalm can be instrumental in managing and neutralizing enemy threats.
