The 71st Recon Battalion was part of the first Allied States troops to enter Yarphei with the rest of the invasion force, however, their objective was to fly over the front lines, and conduct reconnaissance in the district of Châu Tàn, in Province 4 of the Mekong Delta of Yarphei. The Marine Corps were assigned to another Province, thus, an Army battalion was sent in. The 71st were flown in by a large number of Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawks from the First Fleet. The first 500 men were flown in at 09:00 on that morning, and the rest arrived almost an hour later, all at LZ Alpha, in an open valley.
