A former officer who served in Vietnam said the first thing any mortar
or artillery rounds hit in a firebase was the property book. One single
round was always able to zero in on it and destroy it and all records of
what the unit had. Unfortunately now they are kept electronically, so
this isn't working in Iraq.
