The Centaurs were F Troop 4th Cavalry. They were sent north from Long Binh to Phubai on short notice in April 1972. Centuar 3 was probably the operations officer. When I left them in February, the operations officer was Captain Mike Hannah but I don’t know how long he stayed in that position or if the Centaur 03 mentioned in the log book was the operations officer or not. Centaur 6 was Major John Spencer. There is a roster of the Centaurs and a Centaur Group web site, however, their written history, except for a New York Times article, dated April 16, 1972, seemed to stop when they went north. The last yearbook ended about April 72. The Troop stood down in February 73
