OFFICIAL LAUNCH MAP · NOVEMBER 1967
Đắk Tô Airfield
A long operational airstrip and relatively open surroundings give armour and reconnaissance more room while exposing infantry crossing the base.
HISTORICAL SETTING
What inspired the battlefield
The official brief places the map during the Battle of Đắk Tô and an attack on a key US airfield base and surrounding hilltop fortifications in South Vietnam's central highlands.
