Ну, Доценко... :)
С ФАСа:
"In total, an invasion force of 1,900 U.S. troops, reaching a high of about 5,000 in five days, and 300 troops from the assisting neighboring islands encountered about 1,200 Grenadians, 780 Cubans, 49 Soviets, 24 North Koreans, 16 East Germans, 14 Bulgarians, and 3 or 4 Libyans. Within three days all main objectives were accomplished. Five hundred ninety-nine (599) Americans and 80 foreign nationals were evacuated, and U.S. forces were successful in the eventual reestablishment of a representative form of government in Grenada. "
А вот о "психической атаке" и БТРах с http://www.public.usit.net/dmgann/hisrang8.htm :
"Eight hours after landing, the commander of B 2/75, was notified that two Rangers were missing near their positions. The
company commander decide the missing men must be near a building which lay between B Company and the Cuban positions.
A Cuban construction worker was sent forward with an eleven-man Ranger squad under a flag of truce. While the Rangers
remained outside, the Cuban entered and spoke with those inside, who agreed to a truce if the Rangers would treat the Cuban
wounded. Two Rangers and seventeen wounded Cubans were evacuated. Afterward, the Ranger commander called for the Cubans to surrender, and 80 to 100 did so. The remainder surrendered later, after a brief fight, to the 82nd Airborne.
At 15:30 that afternoon, a counterattack was launched toward A 1/75, consisting of three BTR-60s, which moved through
2nd platoons firing positions, firing toward the runway. The Rangers countered with rifles, M-60s, LAWs, and a recoilless rifle. Two of the BTRs hit each other when the first one halted. Both were disabled. The third began a hasty retreat and was hit in the rear. It was finally destroyed by an AC-130 Spectre gunship."
