Description
In Late May 1966 a force of 8,500 Marines and 2,500 South Vietnamese troops launched Operation Hastings. The goal of Operation Hastings was to thwart the efforts of the North Vietnamese 324 B Division to take control of Quang Tri Province.
Seven Marine infantry battalions deployed from Dong Ha, a small village south of the Demilitarized Zone, the boundary between North and South Vietnam. The brushy hill country and tangled jungles in the mountains bordering the eastern DMZ was unexplored territory for American Infantry forces. The Marines moved north to engage forces of the North Vietnamese Army infiltrating south through this difficult terrain. United States Marines were sent with a task: Organize a Marine recon mission to pinpoint the location and activities of the North Vietnamese. Combined U.S. intelligence assets determined that a North Vietnamese force had massed in large numbers west of Dong Ha and south of the DMZ.
Over the next ten days, the Marine Corps encountered its most bloody and bitter combat, fighting a jungle war that matched WWII in difficulty and savagery. The operation was one of the bloodiest, most difficult and historically significant battles of the war in Vietnam.

I'm in on NVA. Y'all sound off so I can get a count for NUAC.

Sounds fun I'll be there. Car pool? I'll NVA my happy little arse off with ya.

none of that allowed in the car! I'll reserve a spot for ya. I'll plan on taking the Jeep so there's more space for gear.

It's more fun to be bad!

and I don't have an M16A1 anymore, NVA ftw!

It's kinda funny. I dress like said NVA most days of the week. Black shirts and various shades of brown cargo pants.

Andrew, I'm not cool enough to know what ftw means. Pending a refutation I'll show ya as NVA.

Aye, that would be my intention, sir
