Q: What is Operation In Country?

In Country is a Vietnam Military Simulation created by members of the
team that produced Operation Liberty Canyon.

Q: What will the simulation be like?

The simulation is designed to be a military immersion experience. The
simulation designers plan out a movie like experience for the
participants that include realistic sights, sounds, and combat of the
Vietnam War. The goal is for you to experience a compressed version of
what it would have been like to be a combatant in Vietnam.

Q: How to they create a movie like environment?

Vietnam veterans and experienced military personnel running the
headquarters.
Real Vietnam Veterans are developing and running this event. A
dedicated command structure and simulation controllers can make all
the difference in the world on the enjoyment players have in military
simulations. At In Country troops will be given basic training on the
historical tactics used by each side. Squad leaders will work inside
their platoon with imbedded simulation organizers to help organize and
oversee the major combat operations. Immediate after action feedback
from HQ will help the entire troops figure out what went well and what
can be improved upon for the next battle. The information you will
learn from our Vietnam veterans will help you appreciate the
conditions both sides fought under.

Realistic battle conditions.
Ready to try something different and more realistic? During Vietnam a
US soldier would typically be limited to 400 rounds and VC would often
be lucky if they had 60 rounds of ammo on them. The NVA issued four,
30 round magazines for a typical AK equipped riflemen. Stalemate
firefights lasting longer than 15 to 20 minutes were very rare during
the war. If the VC or NVA couldn't dominate their opposition in that
time frame they typically withdrew. At In Country you can use your
high capacity magazines but we will ask that you load them with a
realistic amount of ammunition. It brings a whole new dimension to the
simulation when you and the enemy have to reload a lot. Running out of
ammo? Grab some from a teammate or start planning to withdraw – just
like US and VC / NVA forces would have had to during the war. We think
you will gain a whole new appreciation for the M60 gunners.

Historical immersion scenes.
Ever wonder what it was like to get a Dear John letter in Vietnam?
(Dear John letters came from girlfriends or wives breaking up with
their boyfriend or husband who was stuck fighting in Vietnam). Ever
wonder what an interrogation of a captured enemy solder was like? What
did the VC troops do when they took breaks from fighting? Our staff
are experts at creating movie like historical immersions in-between
the combat you are in. Mail call could see you getting that Dear John
letter. A captured soldier could be a character actor that will fight
like hell during the interrogation and try and kill your Lieutenant
and his translator.

Realistic Firebase and Props
Firebase Kathy will be your home for In Country. She has been attacked
many time and even overrun by the NVA on one occasion. There are an
ever expanding set of trenches / bunkers that you will live in an
improve. The mortar pits will be blasting the enemy. The Tactical
Operations Center (TOC) will be buzzing with operational activity form
units on patrol. If you’re a Radio Telephone Operator you will be
assigned a PRC-77 radio – handset – and antenna to keep your squad
leader in communications with the TOC.

Sustained operations over 24 hours.
Participants will have combat experiences over the 24 hour simulation
with historical immersion events in between. The war zone is located 7
min drive from the parking area. Once you grab a truck into the
landing zone you are in the war until noon the next day. Check out the
packing list under event detail for more information on sleeping in
the firebase and other 24 simulation information.
