November 1970 began with a move by air and overland from Fire Support Base BIRMINGHAM to Fire Support Base ARSENAL on November 1. The Currahees were now OPCON again to the 2nd Brigade, 101st Airborne, which remained operational in the six districts southeast of the Perfume River in Thua Thien Province.
Throughout most of the month, the Currahees conducted search and destroy operations within the ARSENAL area. Because of adverse weather conditions, the Battalion was forced to occupy lower ground, where the cloud cover would not prevent resupply and air movements. Contact with the enemy was light, because the enemy was scarce in the lower areas.
