Firebase Geena
July 21 @ 08:00 - 17:00
The Op
In 1968, before the start of the Tet Offensive, a US platoon was ordered to locate, secure, and defend the old Firebase Geena, as it had some strategic significance earlier in the conflict; The Brass thought it would be helpful to prevent the NVA from taking a bigger role in ousting the American Invaders.
Upon arrival at Firebase Geena, the GIs found highly demoralized soldiers who were about out of necessities. Despite The Brass downplaying rumors of the Viet Cong’s plans to break the 36-hour ceasefire during Tet, the GIs must prepare the Firebase for the inevitable onslaught.
