OPERATION -Bear Hunt- video from September

Brent Peters made this video a couple of months ago. Sorry I'm a bit late posting it.

Operation: - Rambo's Revenge II - Sun. Nov. 9th 9:00am

Recondo Training: Sunday Nov. 2nd 8:00am

Codename: - Red Death - Gallery

CODE NAME: - Red Death - AAR

AFTER ACTION REPORT - OPERATION: BIOHAZARD (CODENAME: RED DEATH)
DOCUMENT DATE – 10/12/08 (1315hrs)
LOCATION – LAOS RIVER BASIN (36°47'33.04”N - 121°44'15.25”W)
REPORT FROM RED-STAR QRF SUPPORT GROUP


1. At approximately 1315hrs, SUPER NOVA COMMAND made the decision to have RED STAR's QRF support group rendezvous with remaining RED STAR forces at a river basin in Laos.

1.The initial RED STAR security detail had taken severe casualties at this point in the mission. A reported group of five RED STAR elements from the security detail had in their possession an important package. It was the primary objective of the RED STAR forces to safely transport this package to an extraction site just to their east of the river basin.

2. Despite RED STAR's loyalty to SUPER NOVA, it should be noted that communication reports of a strange looking and violently behaving OpFor did give the support team second thoughts about the mission.

2. At roughly 1330hrs, RED STAR's QRF inserted to the north of a tree line bordering the river basin. No resistance was taken.

1. A quick SITREP gave the support group an understanding of the mission circumstances: large numbers of reanimated, aggressive, and extremely dangerous hostiles designated as “Zombies” would require a hasty alliance between U.S. and REDSTAR forces. Five to ten minutes prior to extraction and mission completion, the Command “EXECUTE” would be given to terminate any American allies.

2. Immediately after insertion, The RED STAR support group infiltrated the “Snake Trail” tree line and proceeded through it to the east, to a point roughly 177 meters from the insertion point. The location was a tight funnel between two tree-lines; it allowed for good visibility but was also a very open and vulnerable position to defend. At this location, a small four-man detachment separated from the main group and proceeded to flank around the south-eastern borders of the mission area. The main group encountered heavy “Zombie” resistance during this time, however it held its ground. The four-man detachment silently maneuvered over the “South Mountain” hill without contact. Less than a half hour later, the four-man detachment encountered the five remaining survivors of the security detail and the nine man force moved to the base of the “South Mountain” hill with the “package”.

3.Around 1400hrs, American forces were encountered, and a mutual accord to fight against the “Zombie” threat was struck between the American and RED STAR forces. The nine-man detachment cautiously snaked from the from the base of “South Mountain” hill to a grove of trees just a few meters south of the position held by RED STAR's main force. Several elements from the RED STAR and American force joined the detachment. The detachment eventually split into two distinguishable forces that worked together closely.
1.

Most “Zombies” were avoided by remaining silent and concealed; any “Zombies” that posed an immediate threat were dealt with swiftly and appropriately.
2.

The combined assault force moved quickly and mostly undetected through several patches of Laos' trees and vegetation for around a half hour.
4.

Roughly ten minutes before the designated extraction time, the command “Execute” was given. Several Americans in the detachment force's immediate vicinity were killed. Unfortunately, the first group of RED STAR forces, operating just ahead of the second group, had lost possession of the “package” in the American force's own betrayal of RED STAR. The four-man detachment that had spearheaded the rendezvous with the RED STAR survivors once again separated from the main fighting force.
1.

The combatants that the “Zombies” had not claimed became engulfed with distrust and confusion.
2.

A desperate last attempt to retrieve the “package” failed. RED STAR's four-man detachment secured the extraction site, but had no package to extract. The Americans had in their possession the “package”, but suppression from RED STAR and “Zombies” prevented the Americans from extracting the package as well.
5.

Heavy casualties were inflicted upon the RED STAR QRF and additional RED STAR survivors. It is also reported that several American casualties were inflicted at the conclusion of “RED DEATH.” Though RED STAR forces fought hard to complete the objectives determined by SUPER NOVA, the entirety of the RED STAR force failed its mission.
1.

At the conclusion of the “RED DEATH” mission, RED STAR is determined not to fail again. There is no Success like Failure, and Failure is No Success at All! We will NOT fail SUPER NOVA!

Operation: - BEAR HUNT -AAR

Awaiting American AAR

Our’s not to reason why, Our’s but to do and die…

*.*.*

[[Bat 2-3, Bat 2-3, this is Bat 2-8, over]]
[[Bat 2-8: go ahead]]

[[Bat 2-3: I am about half a klick South-West of your pos. Break. I got 6 Tangos moving towards you passing west to east right in front of me. Break. I got one November-Victor-Mike recruit with me. What do you want me to do? Over]]

[[Bat 2-8: ignore the Tangos. You gotta didi outa there and rendezvous with your unit at grid Echo-1, North East of the FEBA. Buster! Over]]

[[Bat 2-3: Roger. We will ignore the Tangos and buster to rendezvous at the N-E of the FEBA. We are moving out now. Bat 2-8 out]]

Bat 2-8 and the recruit hustled and arrived at the N-E corner of the FEBA (Forward Edge of the Battle Area). All the remainder of Red Star (RS) and Neo Vietminh (NVM) personnel in the Ho Chi Minh Trail AO had gathered here and were preparing to repel the final American onslaught that was to come.

The Tangos that Bat 2-8 spotted on his scouting mission were the re-enforcement that the Americans were marshalling for the final push to overwhelm the RS and NVM troops occupying this section of the Ho Chi Minh Trail bordering the Laotian territory.

With their SAM capabilities neutralized by the Americans 2 days ago, RS was powerless against the American Black Hawk’s airlifting troops into the FEBA.

“Bear Hunt”, was the code name that the Americans used for this operation over their radio traffic. The Americans had been on the hunt for RS and NVM all of the morning and had managed to force RS and NVM personnel to retrograde to the N-E corner of the Ho Chi Minh Trail. We were now setting up our final defensive position with our backs to the Laotian border. We deployed our defensive perimeter as best as we could with the limited resources that were left.

Bat 1-Actual was in overall command. Bat 2 Spetsnaz squad split up into four 2-man teams covering all 360 degrees of the defensive position. Other RS and NVM personnel were in their foxholes and tunnel bunkers such as to have the best concealment and overlapping fields of fire.

… And then we did what all fighting men had done since the dawn of time… We waited…

While we waited, I reflected on the situation and could NOT figure out why in the hell Super Nova hadn’t pulled us out of this ass-end of SE Asia by now. Clearly, Red Star’s campaign to establish the presence of the Neo Viet Minh on Vietnam soil had been a disaster! Was this another one of those “save face thing” that our illustrious leader was always so big on?

But our’s not to reason why…

The mother of all battles started with the Americans and their allies probing RS perimeter. They were given a hearty but deadly welcome. The probes weren’t a complete failure since they did allow the American scum to get a feel for the RS troop deployment and identify potentially weak areas where they could stage a breakthrough.

The main axis of attack came from due west of the RS position. The Americans threw waves and waves of cannon fodder at the RS line, and took horrific casualties. RS regulars and commandos dished out an enormous amount of hurt and made the Imperialists pay dearly for their poorly conceived notion that they could use sheer numbers to quickly overpower crack RS troops in well fortified positions. This went on for almost an hour, and the way things went, it looked like we might win the day yet.

But the Americans continued to pour troops into the battle area. The continuous waves of Black Hawks burned tracks in the sky. Eventually, the RS troops were taken out one by one. Each of our RS comrades going down must have taken at least 10 of the Americans down with him or her, but this did not seem to discourage the Americans and their allies.

Bat 2-3 and Bat 2-8 were assigned the security of the southern perimeter. As the Americans seemed to concentrate their assault axis on the western perimeter, Bat 2-3 and 2-8 saw an opportunity to move around the south of the American assault axis and loop to the north and try to stick it to the Americans where the sun don’t shine. If we succeeded, then the American line would be caught in the crossfire from in front and behind.

We radioed our intentions to Bat 1-Actual to get the ok to execute, but got no response. Bat 2-Actual was also off the air. At this point, the situation was precarious enough that we took the initiative in the hope of forcing the Americans to divide their firepower and take the heat off the RS defenders. As we moved south, we encountered allies’ scouts trying to find a weak spot in our southern flank. We dispatched these scouts with ease and continued our planned maneuver to hit the Americans in the back.

As we traversed the jungle thicket to our objective, we spotted troop movements on the tree line. We froze in place, and the enemy failed to see us due to the effectiveness of our Tiger Stripe battle dress uniforms. It turned out that we were not the only ones with the bright idea of flanking the enemy. This squad of Americans and their allies were on the way to hit us from our southern flank. We both decided that these new Tangos represented a more imminent threat to our position and had to be neutralized first. We let them passed by and followed them from a distance. They truly were amateurs as their tail-end Charlie did not even think to check their rear security. With their backs turned to us, we stealthily closed in and took them out so fast they died without knowing why.

As we reached our original position on the southern perimeter, we more heard than saw the Americans to the north. They must have breached the western defenses and were now within our perimeters. We ambushed the careless ones, got a few but invited a shit storm on our heads. The Americans just laid down a wall of lead in our general direction. Most of the rounds went high since we were prone on the jungle floor. In the midst of the chatter of machine gun and the screams of the wounded and dying, we heard the shrill whistle sound. This was the signal for RS troops to break station and scatter as pre-briefed and regroup in Laotian territory.

We backed out of our current hiding location and started our trek due west, trying to avoid contact with the enemy. We didn’t know how many of us were still standing and would make it to the rally point…

American AAR - MIKE 3

Every dog has its day.

The American forces deployed 4 QRF (Quick Reaction Force) teams into the Moss Land AO to destroy the missile systems the Red Star faction used to cause the destruction and deaths of the Blackhawks and Apache longbows in the days preceding this Operation.
The Recon Marines were sent Southeast through the strawberry fields to conduct reconnaissance while QRF element 1 and 3 moved towards the south mountain on what eventually would be determined as bogus intelligence.

QRF team met light resistance at Location Charlie-Delta three but decided to push passed the area to scout the entire south mountain area for the launchers. Both Army detachments met at the crest without even a hint of the launchers. At this point it was assumed that the light resistance we met at Charlie-Delta three in fact was a larger force dug in.

QRF team 2 scouted the west LZ area and then proceeded into the “Snake Trail” in hopes of finding any trace of the RS forces that may have intel. Continuous radio chatter kept the American forces up to date with what at this point appeared to be a ghost or just bad reports that Red Star had at least a platoon in the area.

QRF teams 1 and 3 contacted the Recon marines and ordered them to location Delta two while team 1 moved to Delta-four and QRF team 3 moved to Echo-three. Myself and one other operator moved to Charlie-three. We had surrounded the point of initial contact for the day and coordinated a four-side attack on the area.

Myself (Bronco/Mike 3) and Warpig initiated contact From Charlie-Three to draw the RS elements attention. We bounded up and immediately came under fire form three locations. The order was then given for the other two Army and Marine detachments to move in at eliminate the resistance.

Warpig and Myself both killed 2 Red Star soldiers. Warpig’s weapon malfunctioned so we held our position for 1 minute then moved into the tree line. Immediately My weapon malfunctioned, so I switched to my 1911 and We entered the tree line. At this point all American forces met, and found only 9 total RS troops were holding this area. Our coordinated efforts reaped little reward.

At this point QRF 2 that was working through the “Snake trail” noticed significant movement at the base of the north hill and ordered all teams to converge on the location. I can safely say our cohesion came apart and the fog of war set in at this time.

Our once organized teams were spread out and for better terms fractured from scrambling to get into position at the base of the northern hill. I was able to repair my primary weapon, and I moved into a position at the base of the north hill. We immediately made contact once we left the tree cover, but soon ran low on ammunition and we had to abandon our assault and head for the relative safety of the "Snake Trail". We lost four men, and our medics were nowhere near our location. As “Hill” and myself were reloading in the cover of the “snake trail” three RS troopers were flanking us from the rear. I quickly dispatched of one soldier, the other two backed out of the area. Hearing the commotion three other RS troops moved into the trees from the north to assist. I killed two more before being wounded. “Hill” held the position and the other RS troops moved back up the north hill.

Our radio communications at this point were disrupted due to an open mic, and we never could get completely organized for the balance of the day. Multiple attempts were made to take the RS location on the northern hill, but were beaten back time after time. Red Star element moved away from the location, and left a blocking force to give the appearance of a larger target, but as we fought they slipped away again leaving us empty handed. We eventually overran their old location only to find a trail of bloodied rags and shell casings. From the looks of it, they were throwing a lot of lead our direction. The medivacs came and took our dead and wounded to the forward surgical post.

The American force along with the Marines moved towards the South East in hopes of catching a break and getting an opportunity to finally stop the seemingly unstoppable force Supernova had put in charge of this operation. They were beating us on most every level.

Eventually we made contact again at location Echo-1. The full American force was bearing down on the RS position. We sent a flanking force to enter from the south east side as the main body headed directly into the wooded cover. The fight was intense, you couldn’t move more than a few feet without taking a casualty. Both sides were feeling the losses and eventually thing calmed down. Red Star reinforcement came in from the Southwest pinching the balance of the American force. This kept them busy outside of the objective area for the waning hours of light.

I was alone again in the wooded area near the missile launchers; I had avoided detection and low-crawled through the stickers and weeds to within ten meters of the objective. I killed five more RS troopers that were looking for my position, the wounded I used as bait for the medics. I dispatched one medic, but RS was not going to risk any more. They let their wounded bleed out. They did not know my exact position so they kept a routine of suppressing fire that was too close for me to really move closer.

Night is coming…I guess every dog has its day.

American AAR II - "Warpig"

Flaming Arrow – American AAR

“Drop zone in 10 seconds! 9 … 8 … 7…” as the jump master counted off the seconds with his fingers clearly for all to see, MF1 members visually checked each others one last time before the HALO (High Altitude Low Opening) deployment.
Blackhawk insertion was not feasible due to the shoulder-launched SAM threat. Instead, US high command chose the HALO method which allowed for the Osprey (our ride into the danger zone) to approach the drop zone at the safe altitude of 37,000 feet.

“3… 2… 1…” The jump light flicked from amber to green, “GO, GO, GO”.

The team jumped out of the cargo ramp and free-fell for 32,000 feet before deploying chutes at the minimum altitude of 5,000 feet. All landed on a plateau within 100 yards of each other. After securing the chutes and changing our gear into patrol, search and destroy configuration, the team hiked for hill Echo 2, about 1 klick from the plateau. We met up with local Vietnamese scouts who had intel on the SAM’s whereabouts and Red Star (RS) troop strength.

The hunt was on!!! We also got in radio contact with the Marines contingent that has been in country over the last 3 days, and moving in on the objective. Using the coordinates from the scouts, we coordinated effort, hunted down, and neutralized pockets of RS forces throughout the AO. However, the SAMs were not found at these coordinates. Apparently, the RS commander has been moving the SAMs around for security reasons.

After 2 hours of sporadic, but vicious engagements, MF team leader received encrypted comm from US high command that the SAMs have been spotted by satellites, and that all US and allied forces in the AO were to double-timed to the new coordinate.
This time, the SAMs and the RS guards were on caught in the open, but they had the advantage of high ground. US forces moved in on the insurgents from the West and South, but suffered heavy casualties in doing so. Every inch of ground gained was paid for in blood and progress up the hill was maddeningly slow.
US forces eventually managed to overwhelm the RS forces and took the hill… and found nothing, again! Using the heat and confusion of battle, the RS commander once more moved the SAMs to a different location, unnoticed. We couldn’t make further use of the satellite, since the window has passed and the next one won’t come around for another 6 hours.
We deducted that RS troops could not have moved the objective too far in the 30 minutes of battle. And they must have moved down into the valley to the East of the hill, since South, West, and North were impassable. Like sharks smelling blood, the US forces quickly regrouped and chased after the RS insurgents, deep into the dense jungle down on the valley floor.

Daylight was fading fast and we geared up for night op. This fight ain’t over yet
