Hi, good work with this so far. I made a couple of minor tweaks for grammar and style and have a couple of minor suggestions for this article:
currently there is a mixture of date format. For instance the lead has "6–7 February", but elsewhere "February 6", etc. The format should be consistent, although either way is fine;
both "armoured" and "armored" are used (and their variations) - it should probably just be "armored" given it is mainly using US spelling;
Note # 14 should probably have details like title, publisher, accessdate etc. added to it;
Notes # 29 and 30 "Cash (1985), p. 131" appear to be the same and could be consolidated per WP:NAMEDREFS as this has been done with the others;
ISBNs and OCLC numbers could be added to the References. They can be found at http://www.worldcat.org/. This helps readers locate the books in their local library systems.
''To accomplish those tasks, Willoughby had at his disposal one Montagnard, four South Vietnamese rifle companies, and three combat reconnaissance platoons. One Montagnard waht? Company, platoon? Done
Hre tribesmen, ?? What are these? Montagnard? Needs explanation, I feel. Done
Otherwise prose fine, accords with MoS
I have clarified the first part by adding 'company', and added a link to the article on the Hre people of Vietnam because they were different to the Montagnards.Canpark (talk) 13:59, 5 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
