ORIENTATION:

 

Weather:  Slightly overcast
Time of Operation: 0430 L
Operation Location: Nha Trang Valley
Vegetation in the area and its effects on visibility: Dense jungle areas with deep river valleys makes for upper canopy concealment of the jungle floor. Some areas open up to agricultural regions bordered by riverways.
Key terrain in the area: TBD
Important Tactical Control Measures: TBD

 

SITUATION:

 

April 1967. MACV-SOG (Military Assistance Command, Vietnam – Studies and Observations Group) was ordered to commence Operation "Daniel Boone", a cross-border recon effort in Cambodia. Both SOG and the 5th Special Forces Group under Colonel Walter E. Kurtz had been preparing for the operation. Conflict broke out between the 5th SFG and SOG over missions and manpower. The Commander of the 5th SFG went rogue taking the majority of his SFG with him. Those that resisted were executed and their bodies desecrated. Kurtz is now waging a brutal war against NVA, Viet Cong and Khmer Rouge forces without authorization from commanders. He is based at a remote jungle outpost in eastern Cambodia, where he commands American, Montagnard and local Khmer militia troops, who see him as a demigod.

 

OPFOR in this situation is not the NVA, VC, and Khmer Rouge forces, although encounters with them will be fierce. Therefor they should be avoided. The Montagnard and Khmer Militia are hostile to our OPFOR but under Kurtz command they are expected to be hostile to us as well should they detect our mission agenda. Kurtz will not trust any American forces in his operating area.

Higher's Mission:

It is the mission of the MACV-SOG to find and locate Colonel Kurtz and his rogue units and destroy them. Confirmation of Kurt’s death is required.

 

EXECUTION:

 

Commander's Intent:

It is the Commander's intent to utilize the 11th Aviation Battalions helo elements to deploy to the Nha Trang river valley and to use PBR craft to travel up the river to locate Colonel Kurtz and any and all of his supporting assets and destroy them outright with overwhelming firepower.

 

Enemy Key Strength:

Knowledge of terrain. Superior numbers.

 

Enemy Key Weakness:

Lack of anti-air assets.

 

Exploitation Plan:

Moving up-river in PBR’s with CAS support from “Python” on standby at all times we will probe the villages for signs of Colonel Kurtz and from there advance on to his stronghold and destroy any and all enemy forces with the help of the 1st Air Cavalry and supporting ACE.

 

Endstate:

Confirmed kill of Colonel Kurtz’s and any other SFG troops in his command. 

 

Scheme of maneuver:
Hazard will deploy via Python Gunships on predetermined route to the PBR staging area and board the 4x PBR boats near the bank of the river to await orders. Python will begin assault on OBJ Phillips. Ripper Platoon will board helo transport and proceed to LZ Foxtrot to finish clearing the area. Hazard will move the PBR's to the dock at OBJ Phillips once it is safe. Once area is secured Hazard and Ripper will then move up the river stopping at each Objective marker to investigate for any intel leading to the location of Colonel Kurtz.
