The �Bastard Battalion� remained at Phan Thiet until November 5, when it moved operations north to Fire Support Base CHU KUK near Ban Me Thout. Task Force 3-506 became OPCON to the 23rd ARVN Division to secure the valuable supply link, Highway QL-21, east of Ban Me Thout. During Phase I of Operation ROAD RUNNER, a Battalion Forward Liaison was maintained at Ban Me Thuot, and the Battalion Forward CP was located at Fire Support Base CHU KUK.

As Operation ROAD RUNNER continued, Task Force 3-506 was released from OPCON to the 23rd ARVN Division on November 11 and became OPCON to the 1st Brigade, 4th Infantry Division to conduct Phase II of the road clearing and security operations along Highway QL-21. Operation ROAD RUNNER would continue into December.

The Currahees welcomed our sixth Battalion Commander on November 15, 1969. In a ceremony at LZ BETTY, LTC James M. Bowers passed the command of the 3-506 to LTC Joseph N. Jaggers, Jr., who would lead the Currahees ever forward in their �Rendezvous with Destiny.�
