___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

SITUATION

OPERATION TIME: 1900 EST

 

IN-GAME TIME: 2200 IGT

 

ORGANIZATION:

1. REGION: Son Tay, North Vietnam

2. WEATHER: Clear Skies; 112F (32C); Wind <1kn NNE; Dawn 0515 IGT; Dusk 1900 IGT

3. TERRAIN: Mountainous, Double Canopy Rain Forest

 

After extended long range air reconnaissance and close reconnaissance by MACV-SOG it has developed that a Prison Camp held by the NVA is holding multiple US POW's. The camp is heavily defended and has multiple defensive units. There is also a QRF and Reinforcements within 15 minutes of the prison camp, they have been seen to do practice runs on reaction times and have well thought out patrol and infil routes. It is not known to exact location in the camp where the POW's are been held, but recon last week spotted a heavy NVA presence and movement of US POW's around the camp. NVA troops are known to use Route 305 as the infil and exfil route to the camp. This is heavily defended with checkpoints on either side.

1st Platoon's job will be to covertly insert into the prison camp, rescue our POW's and exfil. A small element of 1 Platoon should also be ready to defend the exfil party from the QRF forces, or take the fight to the QRF and disable them before they can react to the rescue of our POW's.

Rattler Elements will be tasked with inserting & supporting 1st Platoon, while additionally providing rescue capabilities, medevac and resupply if needed. CAS may also be required to dampen the QRF and Reinforcements.

 

a. Enemy Disposition

  1. Heavy  Disposition of NVA Troops.

    1. Known Anti Aircraft in the area

    2. Heavy Machine Gun & Lightweight high-angle-of-fire weapons

  2. Possible Enemy action

    1.  Expect to be met with heavy resistance at the camp should you go loud

    2.  Expect a fast QRF from the NVA and heavy reinforcements

    3.  Expect to see mechanized infantry and armoured vehicles. Also expect fleeing of troops and executions of US POW's

    4. Expect the use of Mortars, Flares, Grenades and AT/AA equipment.

 

c. 1970s - Rules of Engagement

On order from your commander, enemy military and paramilitary forces are declared hostile and may be attacked subject to the following instructions:

  1. Positive Identification (PID) is required prior to engagement. PID is a reasonable certainty that the proposed target is a legitimate military target. If no PID, contact your next highest commander for decision.
  2. Do not engage anyone who has surrendered, or is unarmed or wounded. 
  3. Any requests for fire support or close air support within 400 Meters of the camp must first get authorization from commanding officer.

Notes from Commander:

  • All requests for Close Air Support/Medevac/Resupply/Insertion are to go to Mako 1-6 on FREQ 60.0. Mako 1-6 will contact Rattler 1-6 on FREQ 50.0 to request an asset to assist 1st Platoon as necessary. Once the asset is in the area of Operation for Mako 1-6, Infantry can contact the bird via CAS Net FREQ 45.0 to guide in the bird/direct close air support.
  • If an infantry element is in threat of being overrun and requires immediate assistance, they may declare a "Tactical Emergency" to Mako 1-6, who will then have Rattler 1-6 redirect all available air assets to Mako 1-6's Area of Operation to prevent the unit from being overrun.
  • Expect the enemy to utilize grenades when in close combat.
