The Punchbowl
The Punchbowl also known
as the Fishbowl and Alamo Hill was the position originally occupied by 3/3
but shortly after they arrived the decision was made to move the Battalion CP,
Mike, Kilo, and India Companies up to Mutter’s Ridge leaving Lima Company
to occupy the hill with a Platoon on the south end of the Razorback. The
road on the right leads up to the position and the hill and the road near
the LZ can be seen on the far right center. The valley had four prominent
karsk rock formations the largest being the Razorback on the west side. The
most prominent was the Rockpile on the south. There was also the Little
Rockpile to the west and Witch’s Tit to the south west.
