Background

NVA Forces have accomplished a major offensive, capturing up to the coastal region of Sihanoukville, giving the NVA access to the southern coastline, threatening shipping. The 79th ARVN Infantry Division, having recently been provided with significant US material support, have been gearing up to recapture the region.

SITREP

1965-07-23 Yesterday we recaptured the Sihanoukville region and its port. As a result we have secured a foothold in Southern Vietnam, and Command has issued us with an M79 for our Grenadier. We have also re-equipped our Squad Leaders with M2 Carbines We need to continue capitalising on our momentum, and will be attacking the Western side of the Bay.

Briefing

We have identified 3 major strongpoints in the region. In the south, the village of Pho Duc is home to a platoon-sized garrison element. To its North, the hill at Bao Ve is home to the Local Company Headquarters. Finally, the coastal town of Bai Bien Dep has another Platoon Sized garrison force. This garrison is also maintaining the Sea Mines in the Bay. Aside from these 3 strongpoints, we have a downed UH-1C in the region with critical Intel. Capture this intel to prevent it from falling into enemy hands. There are 3 NVA Fuel Trucks and a number of AA guns in the region. Destroy these and command will likely reward us with extra supplies. As a final note, there are a number of HMG's watching the coastline. I have marked a recommended LZ for you. Attempting to land elsewhere has a high chance of getting you killed
