OPERATION ARDENT RIPPLE (2024-01-05):
Endgame Red is assigned as the SANDY ground team to conduct Combat Search And Rescue for the Air Force in conjunction with Jolly Green Giants, Broncos and Skyraider "Spud" strike aircraft. Two CSAR missions completed; a pilot recovered from just north of Da Krong, and a dual-crew flight from the marshes of the Mekong Delta. All for only a relatively modest expenditure of US aircraft.
OPERATION WELL REAL (2024-01-12):
A plane has crashed NE of MSS Leghorn. The crew have been rescued but confidential materials onboard can not be allowed to fall into enemy hands. Endgame Red is dispatched the secure the crash site for long enough to let a team of engineers blow the wreck.
OPERATION WEAK TRANSCRIPT (2024-05-05):
River patrol to deliver mail & informational leaflets to island villages, with the usual attempts by the Chelt Cong to interrupt things.
OPERATION REMEMBERING LASAGNA (2024-05-10):
Endgame Red provide heavy vehicle support to USMC troops defending a town and river crossing south of the Song Bin Tanh airbase. Under sustained assault and artillery bombardment, the local Chelt Cong having emptied their hidden arsenals of stolen heavy equipment in an attempt to deal a heavy blow to South Cheltnamese democracy in the region, the tank platoon and infantry were forced to pull back to reconsolidated, before assaulting back across the river after putting in airstrikes to retake the town. While losses were high, Chelt Cong insurgent activity in the region will be severely curtailed for some time to come.
Purple Heart
OPERATION SPLITTING CHOPSTICKS (2024-05-12):
Endgame Red were dispatched on a standard helicopter airmobile assault with gunship cover to seek and destroy a Chelt Cong resupply and consolidation encampment believed to be in a jungle village in the vicinity of Nui Can Tho. Heavy bombs were deployed from C113s to prepare an LZ so as to ensure the element of surprise. Endgame Red successfully destroyed the encampment despite some stiff resistance, but a resupply aircraft was shot down during the operation. Endgame Red successfully recovered the pilot alive from the crash site, although the copilot and crew chief were killed during the crash landing. The unit fought their way to another LZ after their first extraction chopper was downed due to a combination of enemy fire and pilot error. The chopper pilot was also retrieved and both pilots were successfully recovered back to SBT Airbase.
