One day, the platoon was operating northeast of Hill 4-11 when they came upon this "sandbox" mock-up of Hill 4-11. This was a detailed model of the entire hill, including all buildings and fighting positions. You can see the real Hill 4-11 in the background. This was an unpopulated area, but there were lots of fresh, adult-sized sandal prints around this.
