As part of our continued coverage on Vietcong, we bring you details of two of your team-members.
Weāve been following Vietcong quite closely over the last few months; set during the Vietnam War itās a squad based shooter that should stand out from the crowd, with strong characters, incredible visuals and action-packed gameplay.
Today the developers, Pterodon, introduced two of the characters that will from part of your team; Joe Crocker a medic and Sergeant Le Duy Nhut.
Joe Crocker
Staff Sergeant Joe Crocker was raised in San Francisco, California. The son of a doctor, Joe was expected to continue the family legacy. An exceptional student, Joe was accepted into Stanford Medical College in 1961. His attempt to follow in his fatherās footsteps was cut short in 1963. For personal reasons, Joe left Stanford to join the Army.
Joe completed basic training at the Sacramento Recruiting Battalion. His superiors immediately recognized his medical talents and persuaded him to become a combat medic. Soon afterwards, Joe transferred to Fort Sam Houston to begin army medical training. In 1964, Joe was transferred to Fort Bragg where he received additional combat and medical training. After being promoted to the rank of Staff Sergeant on December 3rd, 1966, Joe was sent to Vietnam. He served two months in Pleiku camp as a medic before being assigned to the A-216 team, 5th Special Forces Group.
Le Duy Nhut
Sergeant Le Duy Nhut was born in Bao Loc, a town in the central highlands of Vietnam. As a young man, Nhut fought against the French as a member of the Viet Minh. Following the French defeat, Nhut joined the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN). He later became a member of the elite South Vietnamese forces called Luc Luong Dac Biet (LLDB), founded in 1957. The LLDB training structure was modeled after the U.S. Rangers and U.S. Special Forces, which would ultimately assist Nhut in his role as Point Man for the A-216 Special Forces group.
Le Duy Nhut has a wealth of information and combat experience concerning jungle warfare and Vietcong tactics. Having trained under American soldiers in the LLDB, Nhut speaks marginal English, along with French and a few Montagnard (Vietnamese people indigenous to the Central Highlands) dialects. His current assignment is as a guide and interpreter for American teams in action.
