Turn 15 - 1st/16th Infantry
.
A Company has done quite well, dealing with the sniper at the southern part of its operating area, it is now securing the roads and objectives on the northern part of Area ALASKA. All the platoons will snake their way towards An Loc, where it will bivouac for the night.

B Company had zero luck trying to track down that mysterious leader type unit that was meandering around the area. Ah well, maybe I will find it later. Otherwise, the platoons will soon head down to the Abandoned Airfield at the southern end of Area ALASKA and dig in for the day.

Here you can see the slow progress the rest of the battalion is making as it journeys north of Chon Thanh along QL13. This is the primary Main Supply Route (MSR) in the area and it is the most direct route north to the various cities. Talk about a massive bottleneck.
