5th of December, 1967

Briefing
VCs gone quite since the events of last week, so I've contacted command in regards to securing a resupply for the camp. This will not be delivered straight to us, might as well start blaring over loud speakers about where we are at that point. Instead Armiger will be either locating a MACVSOG created supply cache (if below 15Kg), securing an LZ for a helicopter delivered crate (below 30kg) or finding an open area for the deployment of a crate from a plane. It'll be up to Armiger to recon the mountains and terrain surrounding their perspective location to identify any VC AA in the region, although we aren't expecting any missiles thanks to the destruction of the radar nest last week.
Once the resupply has be collected I'd recommend delivering it straight back to the camp before tackling the sole objective command has informed myself about, the town of Lang Hoan Tap. Local informants described what seemed to be VC on VC and NVA violence in proximity to the town before they went silent. We could also hear the fireworks from the camp, given its within 2kms of us. Investigate the area, find anything of note and destroy any VC/NVA equipment left behind.
During all the fun members of the camp heard what seem to be roaring coming from the direction of the town. Could be more of these "mutated gorillas" that you guys encountered during your last patrol. Recommend packing some AT in that resupply, maybe even a flamethrower if your game enough to carry it.
Good luck gents.
Post Operation Notes
- Supply Drop destroyed due to suspected AA fire/ Pilot error. Convinced SOGMACV to reveal one of their local stashes for retrieval by Armiger
- Encountering some kind of Hell Pit in Lang Hoan Tap that begun unleashing horrific creatures upon Armiger when they got too close to the hole.
- Several encounters with the "hairless" gorillas, some of which assisted Armiger at multiple points despite aggression from several team members
- CIA have become very interested into our activities, wouldn't be surprised if they make an unannounced visit to our camp to debrief
