A Week in Binh Long - The forever AAR

[Jason Petho]

Let's take a look at an overview of simplified map with the units at their starting positions and the areas that need to be cleared during first day.



We have 2/28th in the north, 1/16th in the southeast, the 3rd Brigade HQ and Logistics in the south at Lai Khe. I have not included the numerous ARVN units that are scattered in the area, as they won't be in play at the moment. Let's focus in detail on the starting positions for each of the units.

Here is a screenshot of the Lai Khe area. The 3d Brigade primary headquarters is here, with the 2d/33d Artillery battalion headquarters. The artillery battalion headquarters will be the one for the various batteries that are attached to the 3d Brigade battalions.



Over at Phuoc Vinh, we have the 1st/16th Infantry battalion ready to be transferred by elements of the 1st Helicopter Battalion. Not everyone will be flying by air, as some elements will need to move up the QL13 to An Loc to assist with clearing Area ALASKA.



And finally, all the way in the north at Loc Ninh, we have the 2d/28th stationed around Loc Ninh, with D/1st Squadron/4th Cavalry - which is an helicopter unit. This battalion has a large job ahead of it on the first day, attempting to secure two Areas, as well as build a firebase in Area Louisiana.
