The 1960's were mostly shaped by the political-ideological fight for South-East Asia. The slim, coastal country Vietnam had become the apple of discord between the communistic East and the capitalistic-democratic West. Barely recovering from the swift loss of China to communism and the near-debacle of Korea, the USA had again intervened in a proxy war for Vietnam and it's neighbouring countries in order to prevent an increase of influence of the Iron Curtain.

After the dispatch of military advisors for the ARVN and CIA Special Operations weren't enough to change the situation in favor for the West, Lyndon B. Johnson and the Congress passed the "Tonkin Resolution" in August 1964 - named after the controversial incident in the Gulf of Tonkin weeks earlier - to allow the legitimate dispatch of amercian troops on a large scale to Vietnam, turning the war into a direct, yet half-hearted involvement of the USA, constantly struggling for the support of the american public.

In the majority of the missions of this campaign, you will slip into the role of a soldier of the 1st Cavalry Division in the second half of the 1960's, grazing through the thick and humid jungles of Indochina, fighting the Vietcong, a irregular guerilla army, operating in South Vietnam, barely visible and hardly distinguishable from the normal population, and the ideologically well prepared, tricky and formidably equipped North Vietnamnese Army (NVA).

Expect a challenging undertaking: Due to the rapid-response helicopter-warfare tactics introduced in the Vietnam War you will be inserted right into action - in front of the AK-47 muzzles sticking out of the foliage so to say.
Patrolling, searching local villages for hidden VC weapon caches or rescueing lost comrades will furthermore be your duty. But be aware, Charlie's got a surprise at hand!
