During Operation Indiana in 1966, Marines from B Company, 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment captured a gun that was found loaded and ready for action. The gun was later broken down and dismantled by the Marines. This photo, taken by Pfc. M. Finnell, captures this scene as the Viet Cong retreated while being overtaken by the Marines.
