The original caption for this photograph reads: U.Turning the Tables---U.S. Marines and South Vietnamese soldiers are turning the tables on the North Vietnamese Army by distributing captured rice to the Vietnamese People. Here, Regional Forces soldiers load a 7th Moto Transport Battalion truck with the captured rice. Civilian Organization for Revolutionary Development spokesman said more than 300 tons of usable rice, hauled from Vandergrift Combat Base to Quang Tri City, will be handed over to refugees. The rice is part of a huge cache uncovered by the 3rd Marine Division during Operation Maine Crag.
