The site is now live for the MACV Airsoft Operation Liberty Canyon on 27-28 September 2008... "The Dogs Throat was a spur in the Cambodian Frontier that Material Assistance Command Vietnam (MACV) determined was a natural infiltration route from the North Vietnamese Army’s (NVA) staging areas inside Cambodia. With indications of strong buildup further West toward the Capital of Siagon in the huge Michelin Plantation area, MACV decided to try a risky maneuver and positioned small enticing units right on the border in hopes they could impede the resupply of any planned NVA offensive.

Operation Liberty Canyon established American positions were hasty and not very large. If the intent was to provoke aggressive action by the NVA and local Viet Cong guerrillas (VC) it appeared to be working. The NVA pushed hard and aggressively on the assorted firebases and it resulted in one of the hairiest and most dramatic series of encounters of the Vietnam War.

Fresh meat was laid on the doorstep of the enemy’s dog house. Gonna be quite a fight! Are you up for it?"
