Operation Summary

Deployed to a village deep in the jungle to provide defence against potential Chelt Cong saboteurs, Endgame Red found themselves mixed up in some sort of MACV-SOG operation in which vast numbers of insurgents were determined to overrun the small settlement and eliminate the special operations force there. Eventually, the SF group evacuated the village and Endgame Red were free to make their own way to an LZ to escape the encircling Cheltenamese forces.

Commendations

Morris
Morris was responsible for patrolling the perimeter, pushing out every time it was required, and singlehandedly took down a whole bunch of Chelt. What a guy. And also carried me all the way back from the river to the village, just in time to have the village napalmed around us. 3/5 stars on TripAdvisor.

Overkill
Overkill displayed quick thinking and initiative when I was shot down and lacked a long range radio. In overflying the site in his F-100D to let me know he had seen me, and presumably identifying from my smoke that I was alive he called in a CSAR without requiring any voice comms, meaning that I was back on the airbase before any Chelt patrols could come to find me.

Rain
Neutralised several fixed machinegun positions suppressing the objective. Counter attacked several enemy pushes into the perimeter. Sustaining wounds but continuing to fight as he was overwhelmed.
