		Although available for use as instant permanent bases, most were on the move constantly as new operations were initiated, or in a random fashion as a security measure to prevent their being the target of sapper attacks.
		One major advantage of having the YRBMs close to the patrol and interdiction activities of the "brown water" craft was the ability of the helicopter gunships (Seawolves) to be quickly reloaded by the YRBM service personnel for a rapid return to the scene of action as needed.
		Based on the number of South Vietnamese flags being flown by the vessels operating in the Cambodia waters, you would have to believe that the population was receptive to having their hearts and minds won.
