MAJ CAPERS' WAR DOG: KING "Team Broadminded," led by Capers, set out into the jungle, accompanied by his German shepherd named King. They were hunting an NVA platoon in the area. Early in the patrol, King alerted, signaling the enemy was close. Outmanned at least 3 to 1, Capers motioned for his men to hold their fire until they could maneuver into a better position. Within minutes, King alerted again, and Capers noticed three NVA soldiers just a few yards away. He opened up on full automatic, dropping all three in a single stroke. Capers’ M16 jammed, but Team Broadminded had already initiated its well-rehearsed contact drill, unleashing a barrage of grenades and bullets as the enemy platoon scrambled. Capers, struggling to unjam his rifle, saw two more NVA soldiers emerge full-tilt in a desperate counterattack. He gunned them down with his 9 mm sidearm. When the battle was over, at least 20 NVA soldiers lay dead, their corpses obscured beneath a haze of gunpowder and smoke. During another patrol at Phu Loc... King, the war dog, again alerted, signaling that the enemy was near. Then the nightmare. The NVA had daisy-chained several claymore mines together. A claymore mine is an 8.5-by-3-inch convex slab of inch-deep plastic, packed full of C4 explosives and hundreds of steel balls. It usually sits a few inches above the ground and functions like a giant shotgun shell. One of Capers' Marines, Crepeau recalled the moment they detonated like a scene from a film: The five men in front of him were flung to the ground in slow motion. As he watched the shock wave of violence, a steel ball punched through his leg. At least 15 NVA soldiers opened fire from two directions with rifles, machine guns, and grenades. Within seconds, nearly every member of the team was badly wounded. The blast knocked Capers against a tree and punctured his body in 14 places from his legs up to his abdomen and back. His right leg was broken, and as he lay severely concussed, he looked over and saw King, limp and lifeless on the bloody jungle floor, his tongue hanging out. The dog had been between Capers and the blast. Maj Capers credits King with saving his life... on multiple occasions. Later that same day... Dusk was descending as they approached the extraction point. One H-34 helicopter landed while another circled overhead, providing cover from the remaining enemy forces. The crew chief helped everyone onto the bird. King’s body still lay on the ground. In a haze, Capers drew his gun. The dog was coming with them, he told the chief, or Capers was staying behind. The crew chief jumped out and heaved King’s body onto the chopper. Below are two images. One is an unfinished draft of one of over a dozen images which UAP.org is commissioning to illustrate the events at Phu Loc. The other is of King alive - The German Sheperd on the left.
