Narrative
The year is 1966 and 1ATF is stationed at Nui Dat in Phước Tuy Province in South Vietnam, a 4000 meter exclusion area has been imposed which has meant the expulsion of the entire local populace. Although reports of civilians moving into abandoned homes is not uncommon, as a result of being displaced from other areas where fighting between communist fighters and American forces has broken out.
1ATF are ordered to maintain this exclusion area and conduct Long range patrols along Line Alpha with instructions to put down any Vietcong they encounter. 1ATF must also regularly visit villages where civilians have been made to leave their homes, to ensure these areas are kept empty and the situation locally is not muddied by the presence of civilians within the exclusion zone.
1ATF are assisted by a small unit of engineers operating a couple of lightweight landrovers that fulfill CASEVAC requests, resupply ammo and short combat missions as a QRF.
The threat from the enemy appears to be growing, as the jungles have played host to a number of enemy supply caches which will be the active focus for ANZAC operations, trying to rid the region of weapons that may be used against them.
Remaining undetected and not alerting ANZAC forces to our presence is imperative. Vietcong and NVA forces will be focussed on building up various supply caches at strategically important locations around Nui Dat. These supplies will enable VC to have easy access to vital; medical, ammo and food resources.
Ultimately the end goal for VC & NVA is to succesfully hold and expand ammunition and weapon supplies in secret jungle locations close to Nui Dat, preparing for a Dusk Assault on the Australian Position.
