Over 300 US dead. The movie (film) "We Were Soldiers...", starring Mel Gibson ONLY show's "his" battalion. A second battalion was landed, and cut to pieces while walking in single file to another LZ. The battle lasted for 3 days for BOTH battalions.
A US battalion averaged about 600 men per battalion (up 900, but less than a 1,000 for mechanized infantry battalions). Two US infantry battalions were in the fight (Air Cavalry is infantry). Over 300 US infantrymen were Kia; so roughly 900 plus men survived (counting WIAs).
