Figure 1: Paint by Tom Freeman from the naval museum
This paint represents action time in the course of the Battle of IA Drang Valley in Vietnam on November 1965. The paint is Tom Freeman’s work (Gienapp, 2001). The painting clearly elaborates incidences in the war. On the paint, soldiers are seen engaging in a fight. The manner in which the troopers are engaged is evidence that the battle is fierce. Many of the soldiers have their guns in use. They are targeting to shoot their enemies. They attack their rivals in different directions, showing a better tactic in attacking their enemies.

The bombs also can scatter opponents and thus, make it easier to fight the split force. At times, the airliner can be of help in conducting surveys. This can be fundamental to the battalion as they will utilize the information on enemies to explore their weakness and defeat them. The airline is one of the fastest modes of transport.
