US Marines - Vietnam War

This is a small infantry config faction made using SOG Prairie Fire DLC & S&S assets. I really wanted to utilise the excellent range of US Marine uniforms and equipment from S&S which accurately depict the Marines during the conflict in South East Asia. I have tried to base the faction addon on research. In particular i have used several Osprey Miltary books depicting US Marine Corps units from the later phases of the Vietnam War around Tet in 1968 (i may add more variation at a later point). However i have added certain 'fantasy' elements to make use of some of the cool S&S gear!

I used ALIVE's ORBAT creator to make the factions so you cannot override the units' loadouts unlesss you have ALIVE loaded. I don't know how to get around this i'm afraid despite the fact that i have tried but just cannot understand coding that well. You can still add items and change gear once the mission starts through Arsenal/boxes etc.

You'll find the following groups in the mod under 'US Marines - Vietnam War':

Infantry
- USMC DRY WEATHER (TCUs); Platoon, Demolition Team, Rifle Squads 1 & 2, Sniper Team (1968)
- USMC WET WEATHER (rain parkas); Platoon, Demolition Team, Rifle Squads 1 & 2, Sniper Team (1968)
- USMC HEAVY KIT (full packs including pack boards); Platoon, Rifle Squad 1 & 2 (1968)
- USMC Divisional Reconnaissance; Light Team, Heavy Team, Demolition Team, Sniper Team (1968)


SpecOps
- USMC Force Recon Team 1,2 & 3 (1968)
- USMC Force Recon Demolitions Team (1968)
- USMC Force Recon Sniper Team (1968)


There are also some individual units such as officers & unarmed soldiers.
