***TRANSMISSION RECEIVED***

In light of recent ‘disturbances’ in the North Western villages, Fort Iron has become the focus of Viet Cong guerilla attacks.  Fort Iron needs reinforcements and medical supplies urgently and due to the monsoon North of the Fort they are unable to be air dropped safely.  Your squad consists of 12 soldiers are being inserted within 30 km of the Fort by Hercules choppers.  Each squad will carry medical supplies and act independently to maximize the chance of a squad reaching Fort Iron and relieving their wounded men.  Once the Fort is reached it should be easily defended with the increased garrison.  Also all communication is cut throughout the jungle due to the thick canopy, this means your on your own to the Fort.  Be aware guerillas are throughout the area and will attack.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES – Reach Fort Iron with the medical supplies.

If the medical supplies are being moved they must be carried by 2 people, one must be the medic.  The carriers are unable to run or crawl because of the fragile nature of the supplies.  If they are seen running or with one person carrying the whole team will be considered overrun by VC forces and disqualified.

VIET CONG BRIEFING

EYES ONLY

***TRANSIMISSION RECEIVED***

Several villages housing rebel contingents have been found completely destroyed with no trace of attackers.  These must be associated with the US ‘vampire’ or SAD missions.  In retaliation the VC leaders have ordered attacks on the US Fort Iron be commenced.  Already the Fort is under duress from guerilla troops and reinforcements are expected to be coming from southern Fort Stormhold.  If Fort Iron is to be overrun these reinforcements must be intercepted and destroyed.  VC forces are stretched for such an attack so take all necessary caution.

The Marines are likely to be better equipped with modern assault rifles but can be taken at range from concealed positions.

***TRANSMISSION END***

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES – Destroy all reinforcements.
