TERRAIN: Mountains, Highlands, Jungle, Rolling plains Last weekend we took the PAVN's base camp in the valley. This action successfully thwarted Colonel Nguyen's plan to annihilate us, and move on to assist in the battle for Saigon. The 324th PAVN Infantry is making a hasty retreat, north, along Highway 19, in an attempt to get across the Cambodian Border to safety. Bravo, Charlie, and Delta Company have been flown in along the border to act as a blocking force. Mean while, Alpha Company's job is to push north along Highway 19, and attempt to over run the PAVN's rear guard and supply train. Once and if this can be accomplished, Alpha Company will then join in on the attack, and assault the main body of the PAVN force, which is currently engaged up north with Bravo Company. a. Enemy Disposition Battalion sized PAVN Element Taken substantial casualties. Static AA was neutralized last weekend, expect only heavy machine guns for Anti-Air. Small rear guard force, however expect them to be determined to delay you. Large numbers of vehicles, and equipment attempting to flee back across the border. Bravo Company reports that they are taking artillery fire from deep within Cambodian territory, so expect enemy artillery support. b. Friendly Disposition 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment In contact with various elements of the 324th Infantry Battalion PAVN Acting as a blocking force, to keep the PAVN from escaping across the Cambodian border. Friendly Forces in AO Cougar, and AO Fox will be pushing North with you, covering your flanks on the valley. c. 1960s - 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: Positive Identification (PID) is required prior to engagement.
