Welcome to Vietnam, Commander. This is our first big military operation in this
country. Till now we've been just patrolling the countryside and handling security
for the airbases. Now we go on the offensive against the VC. The operation is
called "Starlite" and its goal is to destroy the VC presence in the Chui Lai
area. Your men will assist the US Marine 3rd battalion as it assaults the
VC. You must secure all nearby villages and hill 43. This area has been
declared as a "free fire" zone, so you'll have plenty of artillery and air support.
Good luck, commander.
