Finally after three days of intense fighting the 1rst Division 7th cavalry was being airlifted out of X-ray. The total body count for Americans was 79 and 121 wounded with none missing. Moore estimated that the enemy dead was 634 with an additional 1,215 killed by artillery and air attacks. They were transported to landing zone Falcon and then to Camp Holloway.

The 2nd battalion 7th cavalry was heavily attacked as soon as they reached a small clearing just before LZ Albany. Most of the heaviest fighting occurred in the first hour.
