NSATASOG - Operation History
Operation: Ia Drang
When: Nov. 12-13th '2005
Location: Los Padres National Forest -
Naciemento Camp!
Type: MilSim - Reenactment!
Roster Check: 19-22

   OP: Ia Drang started off with a little bit
of a drive to the AO, which was a little
long for some. We had about 19-22
people show up out of the 30 people who
registered.
   
   The Operation started off with the ARVN
trying to cut off the US Forces LZ and
prevent any more troops from landing,
which in this case worked out for the ARVN.

   Later in the night the NVA & US Forces
went head to head and both took heavy
losses.
   Early Sun. Morning, troops were
deployed and had the final stand off
where the US Forces took too many losses
to come out on top this time.
   
   The AO was better than we could have
ever asked for with a small river, trees, a
road, rocks, and hills.
   Everyone had a great time (Especially
BlackOps). We might even turn this one
into an annual event! (However, we will
hold it in the summer, 'cause it was a bit
chilly, well freezing to be more exact).
