Battle of Ia Drang - 1965 (Vietnam War 1955-1975).

Currently I simply dont understand this campaign, expcept as follows, simply:

There are four parts:

PAVN (North Vietnam) attack the Pleime camp with the 33rd and 32nd regiments on 19 October.

All the Way (1st Brigade, 27 October – 9 November)  Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) Armored Task Force attack North Vietnam forces

Silver Bayonet I (3rd Brigade, 9–17 November) US cavalry units make helicopter landings and engage the enemy

Silver Bayonet II (2nd Brigade, 18–26 November) ARVN Airborne Group carry out exploitation.

As such, this begins on 27 October with the ARVN forces confronting the PAVN forces for 14 days (28 turns at two turns per day) etc.

However, the ARVN will have US air support throughout.
