[Thanh Tan Island, 5 km of Ben Tre, South Vietnam]: [SIDE A / H2H] [HIS] [CSL]:

Efforts of clearing the Mekong Delta of Viet Cong units were in full stride in early 1962.

During a sweeping operation north of Mo Cay Island, the Civil Guard and Self Defense Forces of the island had trapped a Viet Cong battalion sized unit on Thanh Tan Island. Early that morning, the Viet Cong had attempted to escape, but their attack was thwarted.

Elements of the ARVN 11th Infantry Regiment began their amphibious landings with the intention of clearing the island and destroying the battalion.

In the fighting that ensued, it was clear the Viet Cong battalion wasn't about it give up.

Very confusing there are civilians that look like enemy units running around if you shoot them you lose points. This information is buried in the briefing
