The Central Military Commission has learned of chemical weapons being deployed against the Annamite Range Strategic Supply Route and it's forces in the National Liberation Front. We are to deploy South in retaliation for this blatant warcrime. We face a well defended but poorly secured ARVN base. Destroy it and retreat in good order.

BRIEF

Friendly PAVN forces line the border to our south, most are not accessible via radio but if we make on ground contact we may be able to muster their support. Enemy ARVN Forces are holding against the Northern-most line of their borders and have been conducting probing raids to the west against the supply routes of National Liberation Front ("Viet Cong") forces crucial to underminging the Southern Governments regime. Most recently it appears they have been using chemical weapons on the Strategic Supply Route ("Ho Chi Minh Trail"). This is a clear violation the Geneva conventions, which they are a signatory of. We must retaliate for this abominable warcrime. Intelligence from NLF cells South of the ARVN base indicate while it is well defended, it is not well secured. Coordinated flanking routes combined with artillery attacks could confuse the enemy well enough to make an assault and capture of the base extremely simple.

Conduct a raid onto the base utilizing avaliable artillery assets, transports and resupply caches within the AO while making contact with PAVN squads and NLF cells to assist with your raid on the ARVN HQ.

Objectives

• Raid Southern ARVN HQ and destroy all artillery and mortar assets.
• Retreat to our base in good order, avoiding American Air support.

Optional Objectives

• Make contact with friendly PAVN elements for support and resupply.
• Verify presence of NLF Cell to the South and pass on intelligence.
• Capture Lang Mau village to deny the enemy viable retreat.

• 9x Bikes Per Squad
