Memorial Events of History: Base Defence ROKA (Part 1)



Game Mission:
Base Defence
In 1967, VC & NVN Infantry forces organised to hit the troop base of ROKA in VN central highland aiming to wipe out all forces of blue dragon and white horse divisions because they told that ROKA had guilt with Vietnamese civilians living in country sides in central highland.

$$ God of Justice:

* Carefullly historic investigation could see clearer: Did Vietnamese Villagers supported VC [true] or not [false]?
– If true then ROKA hadn’t the guilt with their enemy (communism was opposite with capitalism)
– If false then ROKA had guilt with Vietnamese villagers correctly.

$$ REFERENCE:

U.S. President Lyndon Johnson had adopted foreign participation in the war as a key component in the American strategy for Vietnam. Having recently fought a bloody civil war against communists in the Korean War with American help, South Korea made offers to send troops to . South Vietnam as early as 1954, but these were turned down. Eventually, a request for coalition partners by MACV under the Many Flags campaigns was made, and South Korea joined the war. South Korea’s decision to join resulted from various underlying causes, including the development of US-South Korea relations, political exigencies, and the promise of economic aid from the United States.South Korea would make up the second largest force in the ten member coalition after the United States.

The first Korean units arrived in February 1965, in a brigade group known as Dove Force. These included engineers, a medical unit, military police, a navy LST, liaison staff, and other . personnel. Dove Force was deployed to the Biên Hòa region of South Vietnam, and helped build schools, roads and bridges. Medical teams are reported to have treated over 30,000 South Vietnamese civilians. The civilian operations in the early southern part of the campaign are reported to have had some success.:122-4 In addition to combat and non-combat forces, South Korea had sent around 100,000 civilian workers to South Vietnam, employed in technical and civilian tasks.

In 1966 Korean combat forces were deployed to the Tuy Hòa valley and taking over security operations, where there was some positive evaluations of ROK’s operational capability. They are alleged to have inflicted 24 to 1 casualties during one operation in 1966. Other reports indicate the operations in the Tuy Hoa Valley was a series of massacres and atrocities committed against civilians, as they were reported to have begun systemic, widespread depopulation of the region while claiming civilians killed, often women and children, were “enemy combatants”. The takeover are reported to have caused a significant decrease in relations with the government, and neutral villagers began joining the Viet Cong due to war crimes and atrocities committed. Starting in 1966 Korean forces are reported to have begun depopulating wider areas including the Sơn Tịnh, Bình Sơn, and Tinh Hoa districts in Quảng Ngãi Province in response to a series of effective ambushes by the NVA/VC. Korean-controlled sectors became less-populated during the war, as civilians begun leaving en-masse and Viet Cong control was reported to have increased with many joining their ranks.
