Ground Casualty
CPL John R. Gmack, CPL Michael A. Frese, and CPL Robert B. Roshon were infantrymen assigned to 2nd Platoon, A Company, 1st Battalion, 8th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division. On May 28, 1970, their company was setting up their night defenses on the north slope of Hill 293 about 12 miles northwest of Djamap Airfield, Cambodia, when they were killed in the explosion of a friendly mine. After an investigation by the company commander, it was determined that automatic ambush mines had been set out as part of a night defensive position by 3rd Platoon about 40 meters from and around an enemy cache site that had been located by friendly forces operating in the area. Later, 2nd Platoon, the Company Command Post, and 1st Platoon moved out in that order from their positions to link up with 3rd Platoon. After this was accomplished, each platoon began placing out trip flares and Claymore mines in front of their positions. Three personnel from 2nd Platoon (Gmack, Frese, and Roshon), moving north from their position to place trip flares, apparently walked into one of the automatic ambushes which had been set up around the cache area. The company commander concluded that the elements moving after dark misjudged the distance they had moved across from the site, triggering the fatal explosion. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org]
