--- OPERATIONS ORDER ---

Situation

Background Information

The year is 1968, the USA never deployed to Vietnam. The USSR took the fall of Southern Vietnamese forces as an opportunity to forward deploy troops and reinforce their position in the Vietnamese peninsular. The PSRV welcomed this with arms open. Last week the PSRV formally invaded Laos and Cambodia, both nations governments quickly fell and both PSRV Forces and USSR Forces have begun reinforcing the area. Our Intelligence assets in the region believe that they may be staging for an attack on either Australia or The Philippines. This CANNOT happen

Folowing the capture of the San Bay Ban Airfield by the US Army the surrounding areas have been reinforced by join USSR and PSRV Forces. Ahead of on Assault on the island of Phu Quoc nearby anti aircraft batteries need to be disabled
