Situation

Elements of US Army, ARVN, and MACV-SOG, including LION and SHIELD mortar team, are currently holding Fire Support Base Berchtesgaden, a hilltop outpost deep in South Vietnam. After weeks of minimal contact, intercepted enemy communications indicate imminent Viet Cong movement toward our position at dawn. MACV-SOG teams are present to oversee special operations coordination and support, owing to increased enemy infiltration and recent loss of civilian villages in the AO. FSB Berchtesgaden now serves as a temporary refuge for displaced civilians seeking aid after their village was destroyed. To the west lies A Luoi outpost, manned by US Army, with FOB3 Mai Loc to the northeast and FOB2 Kon Tum to the south, both held by joint US and ARVN forces. With little warning, all units must prepare for a probable large-scale attack: reinforce defenses, mine approach routes, and protect civilians and wounded. The mission’s priority is to hold the perimeter and landing zone, repelling enemy sappers and mass assaults until extraction or relief can be coordinated.
