The Scenario- An overnight switch in war tactics, from patrolling and ambushing to close combat action, where, for the first time in a long while, tanks and artillery support came into their own.

The Men- A trained fighting force with more than their share of bravery, whose skills and sacrifice stopped the North Vietnamese in their tracks.
