You'll see footage filmed from the back of a gun truck while moving down paved and dirt roads, through villages and countryside in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. You'll see the aftermath of a Jeep accident, with a Medevac Huey lifting off from the side of the road, shots filmed at different Firebases including a stop at LZ Oasis, and footage shot at Artillery Hill. You'll drive along with a convoy up a mountain pass, see them crossing a pontoon bridge, and pass a Montagnard village. At a base you'll see men playing tug-of-war over a muddy pit, enjoying food and drinks, firing an M-16, an M-79, and setting off explosives. There's an interesting segment showing men watching a demonstration of a Chieu Hoi sapper penetrating the base perimeter. You'll see footage filmed from a Huey flying along the coast and past Nha Trang, a gun crew firing a 105mm Howitzer, gun trucks stopped by a river and their crews rough-housing in the water.
