Now that we have a clear path across the Mekong River, 1st Platoon will push West and begin the long hunt for COSVN, the Joint PAVN/VC Headquarters that coordinates all offensive activities in and around Saigon. 1st Platoon's objectives are to hunt down the COSVN Headquarters. Three area's of interest have been marked, 1st Platoon is to search each of these locations for any signs of the COSVN HQ, and destroy/neutralize any PAVN or VC Forces found. After all three area's have been searched and any information has been gathered, 1st Platoon will extract. 1st Objective Le Coq d'or - the Ruins of a Colonial French Plantation. Seems to be a decent place to garrison PAVN Forces, and is the site of a few Anti-Aircraft Machine Gun Positions. 2nd Objective Antean Leak - A small Cambodian village, that has been housing Vietcong troops for an extended period of time. Attempt to take a Viet Cong soldier prisoner for interrogation. They are unlikely to know of the exact whereabouts of the COSVN HQ, but might perhaps have some useful information. 3rd Objective - Low altitude Arial Reconnaissance has noticed high levels of vehicle traffic stopping at a remote camp in the jungle, unknown if its a village or military way station, could perhaps even be a communications relay station for COSVN. Investigate. a. Enemy Disposition Viet Cong Forces have been spotted manning AA sites in and around the Valley, our Slick pilots must fly at tree top level or above the cloud ceiling. Viet Cong Forces suspected to be operating out of the town of Antean Leak. Once the AA site is eliminated, Firebirds 1-1 & 1-2 will be able to provide CAS if necessary. Viet Cong Forces will be well equipt, with AK-47s, RPDs, and RPGs. Armor is known to Operate deep withing Western bank of the MeKong River, expect Armor on the roads. b.
