ARM14 "Red River"
Operation Gauntlet.
Location-Hanoi, Vietnam
In the Hanoi Territory prior to the Vietnam War, Colonel Simon Red, commanding officer for a unit within the MACV-SOG, known as "The Annihilator". Consisted of 100+ man teams of fours. They went against the remaining Viet-Cong at a riverside, Marines struggled to take this riverside and use it for supply base for the MACVSOG base planned to be built in Hanoi once we captured all breaking point areas. But the Marines were forced to retreat, but only 20 stayed, one is the commanding officer, they regrouped, devised a strategic plan, requested for air support.
Ten hours later....
A Viet-Cong sniper unit starts picking us off one by one, leaving the commanding officer alive, because an officer is a HVT to the Viet-Cong. Meanwhile, the VC, crosses the river, but the CO said "Red River" -an all out command that sends out 5 squadrons of air assault vehicles- Although it took 3 minutes to destination, the VC were already in the river, a AH-1 Super Cobra with a UH-1 Huey starts mowing down the VC with Vulcan rounds, then a squadron of F-4 Phantoms dropping their napalm bombs on the other side forcing the VC to retreat, the rest of the squadron came and saved the CO.
On this day, behalf of the Commandant of the Marine Corps- General Wallace M. Greene, Jr. named a facility in Camp Lejeune "Red River" in honor of the commanding officer, Lt. General Simon A. Red.
All of the Marines in that unit was equipped with the ARM14. It was a beast at its finest, 5.56mm 30rd magazine, folding stock, 40mm M203 grenade launcher, and the good old "SHC" muzzle break that someone found in Germany.
