Final Mission of SP4 Clarence H. Brooks
SGT Domingo Munoz and SP4 Clarence H. Brooks were Airborne-qualified infantrymen serving with Tiger Force recon platoon. Tiger Force was the name of a long-range reconnaissance patrol unit of the 1st Battalion (Airborne), 327th Infantry, 1st Brigade (Separate), 101st Airborne Division. The unit consisted of approximately 45 paratroopers and was alleged to have committed war crimes from May to November 1967, including the killing of hundreds of civilians. While Army investigators concluded that many of the war crimes indeed took place, no prosecutions were ever pursued. On July 28, 1967, Munoz and Brooks were with members of the Tigers in a night defensive position two miles northwest of Mo Duc Airfield in Quang Ngai Province, RVN, when enemy soldiers probed their location. Grenades were lobbed onto the American’s position which critically wounded both Munoz and Brooks and injured another trooper. Medics rushed to assist Munoz but were unable to stem the bleeding and he died shortly thereafter. Brooks was medivacked but succumbed to his wounds on August 3, 1967. The other injured Tiger Force trooper survived and was evacuated to Japan for further treatment.
