SITREP
Vietnam has a problem. Older hardliners from the Ho Chi Min days have become impatient with the way the people of Vietnam have begun to embrace western culture and capitalism. They see the youth as lazy and envious of anything to do with convenience. They blame the US for putting these ideas in their heads and now have vowed to turn things around!
Cue the old adversary of TFA, The Ardistan Army! The hardliners, calling themselves The Ho Chi Min Revolutionaries (HCMR), have started a small revolt in key areas around Vietnam, but do not have the muscle to take on the Vietnamese Army in the river region. This area is vital for the revolutionaries to bring in supplies to the camps for training young communists to overthrow the current government. The HCMR wants a harder kind of communism than that of the current government.
The Vietnamese National Assembly do not want the US or its allies military on Vietnamese soil. However, a small contingent of USAF personnel has been granted permission to occupy an older FOB called Con Tho in the country’s river region. The USAF has asked TFA to provide them with ground troops to repel the Ardistan Army that have begun to seize villages in the area.
INTEL
With the HCMR fighting in many areas around the country, the Ardistan Army is slowly securing the river routes for the HCMR revolution effort. They have brought in several T-55 MBTs and Hilux pickups with mounted DShKs. They have set up checkpoints at several river crossings to maintain control over the routes. After learning that TFA is coming, and the Sarahni and Kaska incident still fresh in their minds, they are looking for some payback.
Weather: Partly cloudy and humid.
Terrain: Mostly flat with dense vegetation and tree coverage and lots of rivers.
MISSION
TFA will leave FOB Con Tho and proceed west to the several villages marked on the map to eliminate all Ardistan Army troops and rescue the hostages caught by them for protection leverage. In each objective is an officer and NCO that the Vietnamese National Assembly want to prosecute. TFA will capture these individuals alive and bring them back to the FOB for detention!
All civilians rescued will be checked medically but left in place to the Vietnamese military to pick up and send home.
Once all objectives are achieved, TFA will return to the FOB for Endex.
Ghost will be available upon his arrival to the mission area!
