Operation AMTRUNK VI was mounted in January 1964. Thia was the operation in which AMTRUNK-9 and his family were ex= filtrated. The unexpected presence of ANTRUNK-9's wife and small children forced AMICE-14 to vacate the infil/exfiltration area prematurely. All three attempts to launch Operation AMTRUNK VII in February were unsuccessful largely because of rough seas and the resultant difficulty in towing the AMTRUNK Intermediate Craft. The firefight with the patrol craft in the first Stage of the ine filtration phase on Operation AMTRUNK VIII in March forced the team to wait out the alert which their encounter had Precipitated. ‘The team was able to emplace the AMLASH cache and to add to it an OWVL receiver with instructions and schedules for AMTRUNK~-10 ag well as additional S/W supplies for AMTRUNK-10 and -11. An S/W message containing the cache recovery plan was sent to | AMTRUNK-10 shortly after the team's return to the JMWAVE area. { ie pee S dncigts sya or - << 3.
