Summarize
The document states the personnel strength of B5 varied from eight to 11 in 1971, and that only one third of them were specialists. The unit operated in a small area where the enemy conducted air strikes and artillery shellings continuously. Due to a shortage of supplies, B5 had to research raw materials, and collect salvaged steel-made objects and explosives from dud bombs.
