America responds
The US forces were ready to initiate offensive actions to take back the Mayaguez and its crew. The USAF had already sunk Khmer Rouge ships, now 7AF was preparing to support the assault. More importantly, helicopter crews started preflight activities for the missions to Koh Tang and the Holt. Likewise, the BLT 1/4 and 2/9 Marines received final briefings and loaded ammunition, supplies, and weapons onto the helicopters. The Wilson and the Holt were getting prepared to receive the boarding party and to shield the area from any possible Khmer Rouge gunboat interference. Washington was ready to act.
