Date: October, 1966

Location: Lam Dong, Vietnam

Time: 13:32 CDT (Time of publish)

Situation:  Recently we lost control of this sector.  The 7th cavalry's mission will be to establish foot holds for further capture of territory within the province.  FSB Whiskey is a vital control point for this region.  We will be able to ship in supplies more effectively if we control the waster portion of the area.  Failure to capture Whiskey will result in many lost lives and further increase our chances of being pushed out of the region my NVA forces.  The airfield will be the last line of defense. It could be prone to small skirmish-type attacks throughout you station there.

Execution:  Your first task will be to air assault and deploy to retake FSB Whiskey.  Expect this to be heavily defended with both ground troops and light ground and air artillery batteries. This is not the VC. You will be engaging a contemporary force. Expect resistance.

Support: 8 x UH-1Hs

               6 x AH-1Hs

               4 - 155mm Howitzers

Date: November 20th, 1965

Location: Chu Pong Massif, Vietnam

Time: 12:19 CDT (Time of publish)

Situation:  A PAVN battalion was spotted on its way to assault our base of operations.  Our task will be to act as a shield by putting ourselves in between the enemy and our base.

Execution:  Air assault to a location in between enemy and friendly forces. Fight even if a retreat is needed to ensure the most amount of time to react or evacuate the base if need be. Tacticle retreats are and option and I will be expecting some in the days to come. Pick dependable positions and give them hell. It's up to you to make sure they don't break through your line. In that event out mission here will be cut short.

Support: UH-1Hs

               AH-1Hs

               24 - 155mm Howitzers

Date: November 15th, 1965

Location: Chu Pong Massif, Vietnam

Time: 21:40 CDT (Time of publish)

Situation:  After holding LZ Xray, you have established a clear foothold in the area.  The situation now is to hold it until we can march infantry to reinforce you.

Execution:  One platoon is already cut off, hold the LZ as long as possible.  If the opportunity arised try to counter attack when your reinforcements get close.  We need these NVA out of South Vietnam.

Support: UH-1H

               AH-1H

               24 - 155mm Howitzers

Date: November 13th, 1965

Location: Chu Pong Massif, Vietnam

Time: 16:45 CDT (Time of publish)

Situation:  Three regiments of the North Vietnamese Army are positioned near the Chu Pong Massif.  We Believe that the 66th, 33rd, and 32nd regiments are positioned to thrust into south Vietnam from the Cambodian border.

Execution:  The 3rd Brigade of the 7th cavalry will land at LZ X-ray and secure this LZ for further reinforcements.  The landing zone will provide a defence against the NVA threat and will act as a shield until ground forces can be diverted to assist against any push made by these regiments.

Support: UH-1H

Date: August 9th, 1964

Location: Laos

Time: 17:30 CDT (Time of publish)

Situation:  The time for recon and destruction of key targets on the Ho Chi Minh trail have drawn to a close.  Any teams still in the field are instructed to move to a suitable location for extract.

Execution:  From their last positions the teams are instructed to wait for pickup or move West to a suitable location to be extracted from the country of Laos.  If under fire the helicopters will be instructed to wave off as we can not afford to lose such equipment.  Especially considering that the teams are not even supposed to be there in the first place.  Once at a suitable location radio HQ for further instructions over a specific frequency that will change with each passing half hour.  This is done in the hopes that if the enemy is listening we can coordinate a pickup without the use of smoke, to keep things surreptitious, by limiting the chances of them listening in on known frequencies.  If you come under heavy fire it is advised that you either evade or ,under the last possible measure, call for help via gunship support and rescue.  HQ may not give the go ahead...

Support: Helicopters for extract and fire support

Date: august 2nd, 1964

Location: Laos

Time: 11:09 CDT (Time of publish)

Situation: The pilot was obtained from the objective last operation.  However, he was not extracted and this will be the first objective of the next mission.  Along side ambushing any troop movement suspected to be looking for the pilot, the evac chopper, or any RTs.

Execution:  We plan to have the pilot extracted as soon as possible from the region.  The team that has the pilot will locate a suitable location for a landing zone.  From there, the pilot will be taken out of country.  As the chopper come to pick the pilot up he will simultaneously drop off mines and ammo for ambushes to be performed along the trail

Support: 1x Huey for early recon and ammo 

Date: June 26st, 1964

Location: Laos

Time: 9:52 EST (Time of publish)

Situation: All teams successfully completed their objectives.  Now the two remaining teams have to strategically withdraw from the northern region.  We do not believe the enemy will use it in the near future.  The remaining teams in the field with move to the south to link up with a newly inserted team tasked with searching for likely locations of a shot down pilot, who dropped in your resupply not long ago.  

Execution:  We have taken a photo of the area and highlighted key locations we suspect to be where they took the downed pilot.  Iowa, who will be inserted close to the southern border, will find these locations and give it their best assessment from the ground.  The remaining teams will escape capture and evade patrols on their way to Iowa.  Then is it up to RTs to decide how to capture the pilot.

Support: X

Date: June 6th, 1964

Location: Laos

Time: 0800

Situation: After completing their recon of the assigned sections of the Ho Chi Minh Trail, recon teams Alaska and Iowa had a successful mission.  Enemy presence along the trail is expected to be increased following the destruction of a large supply depot, destroyed by RT Iowa.  expect an increase in patrols and security around important stops along the trail.

Execution: The teams will conduct further reconnaissance, from their camps, and raids along the trail.  This time teams will rendezvous and conduct coordinated strikes along specific locations on the trail of their choice. It is recommended that a further investigation, or raid, into Tan Lap base be the primary objective of your next action in Laos.

Support: Heavy artillery and observation planes.  Possible, Huey gunship support.
