“Colonel Moore’s performance was thoroughly outstanding in all respects. A very seasoned combat leader, he consistently produced overwhelming victories against determined North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces of reinforced battalion size. In two major operations, DAVY CROCKETT and NATHAN HALE each of about two weeks duration, he fought his brigade (two to five battalions of infantry with supporting arms) under a wide variety of combat conditions with remarkable success. His leadership was brilliant, resourceful, forceful, colorful and highly inspiring.
