@SuperGrandisle Why don't you just read the description?

[Transformers2themax]

@readynavajo1970 What operation was this supposed to be and what year? By the way, I found this very entertaining. I loved the part with the paranoid kid at 3:47. Mind if I copy some of that for the Vietnam War film I'm screenwriting about the 9th Infantry Divison in the Mekong Delta, 1968?

[SuperGrandisle]

@TheWarhead3 We have an OPFOR of 12. They have a village and a bunker complex

[TheWarhead3]

the best ive everyseen just an estimate how long did it take to create the fire base reply

[Darrang]

hahaha! tyler: "youre stupid...."

[treehot16]

I don't know who your technical advisor was, but it wasn't anything like that. Pick up a copy of Platoon and study it. It 's not perfect, but it is a lot closer. The top of what looks like bunkers should have three layers of sand bags over heavy logs and psp. Mortars and rockets. The entrances should be set up with a ninety degree dogleg for protection from shrap, frags and RPG rounds. If that was wire in the background, move it in and create a larger kill zone. Viet Vet 70-71

[readynavajo1970]

First let me begin by saying thank you so much for serving our country in Vietnam! It means the world to us!!! As far as authenticity, we do not have the luxury of having millions of dollars and hundreds of cheap Filipino workers to build our FSB. We have extremely limited time and assets. We are completely aware of the things that we could have done to improve fighting positions and bunkers.

[readynavajo1970]

We never claimed any of this to be perfect, this was not a movie but a candid video shot during a Re-enactment. Our members are spread out all over the NW so work days on the FSB falls on about 2 people. I hope you understand.

[readynavajo1970]

Thanks for the insight!

[flakjacket69]

why no usmc group

[readynavajo1970]

Nothing personal, we can only do so much. We are working up one right now, but it takes time for everyone to get the right gear.

[flakjacket69]

[readynavajo1970]

I would say so.

[rollingrockfilms]

[readynavajo1970]

Thank you. To answer your question, we were firing off rounds into our perimeter to clear it of any enemy that had snuck up to the wire. Then we were hit by the VC forces.
